well, they had to have a mix of ethnicities. then in the cases reflecting ethical issues, these were cases with very different outcomes. there could be a comparison, and we could ask what went right? now, karl will speak. i'm going to turn it over to karl. >> well, thank you. shareen also has a chance to correct all the errors i may meet. and we will both be responding in the question period. but when we were discussing our whole project, the very subject we were writing about, multiculturalism, we literally went viral. it's failings were decried in 2011 by the leaders of france, germany, and britain, and here, for example as well. president sarkozy were marked in a television interview about diversity. he said if you come to france, it you are expected to meld with a single community, which is the national community. if you don't want to accept that, you are not welcome. we have been too concerned with the identity of a person who is arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him. chancellor an

the danger the jewish state israel jews from out throughout the middle east were ethnically cleansed and they beat up the palestinians in order to grab a hunk of territory so they've been successful but it's been a great price now syria in some ways is still a no is arc it's got to have everything it's this multi-ethnic multi confessional society that hasn't figured out how to get along so the dangers of real revenge possible ethnic cleansing are there and you can't divide it like yugoslavia into separate states an alawite state a druze state a kurdish state an arab state it's too small it's too mixed up so this is where the challenge for the international community comes is how to save lives and not to allow that kind of revenge killing to take if i go back to assemble i mean a lot there go ahead brian but i was going i was going to say the longer this civil war goes on the one likely there's going to be jeffersonian democrats running around later the international community concept. is a myth you have a different you have a regional interest in the case of turkey they have their ow

you see neighborhood and ethnically based organizations. oftentimes they're tied to newspapers and part of the impetus, well, there's two other groups besides these clubs and societies that organize for the uniting of local self-government. one is the people involved in the liquor business, if you have lot of money to get started for obvious reasons, and the other is newspapers because this is a way of building an audience, building the circulation of newspapers. you see this in new york, in boston. the clubs and organizations forming that become vehicles for lobbying, for pressure group politics other than electoral policy. that's the characteristic change in american politics that's taking place in this period. the shift from highly organized machine politics to pressure group lobbying kinds of politics, so this make sense? so there's a big change in the way politics work, but there's not as big a change in the fact that immigrants are both civically engaged and still living and surrounding themselves with fellow members of their particul

and other ethnic groups do that, as well. this is this battle, this tug-of-war over can you be italian and american or are all hyphens gone? can you not have all this be part of who you are in the united states? it gets another little boost with another sort of twist on the fear of radicals we talked about a few minutes ago. this time it's not anarchists. it's bolsheviks. the russian revolution that follows immediately at the end of world war i ratchets up the concern over the possibility that immigrants coming to the united states are bringing dangerous political ideas. if they can overthrow the russian government, they can possibly do it over here as well. so you see in the immediate aftermath of world war i, a red scare that intensifies nativism, hostility toward immigrants a little bit more in this process, and, of course, this is something that was laid out for you in the chapter you read for today, the immigrants fight back. they're fighting back all through the '20s and certainly the fight back, the resistance to these

we deal with racial and ethnic disparity as we examine every one of our policies. we put that on like a lines. supervisor avalos: any member of public like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. can we move this item forward? we have a motion to move forward with recommendations. next item, please. >> item two, ordinands amending the san francisco police code by amending section 65-65 -- amending section 65. supervisor avalos: this item is sponsored by supervisor campos, who is here. supervisor campos: thank you very much, mr. chairman. let me provide a little bit of background about this item. i know we have a number of members from the public that are here and i want to thank them for being here as well. various entities including churches and health-care facilities as well as welfare facilities have a significant number of customers who are dropped off by motor vehicles and to facilitate that, we have asked the city through the transportation agency to establish a white zone. that is essentially a passenger loading area at the streaker -- street curb

and a multiplicity of ethnic can tones developing all over the country. this is no longer a hypothetical scenario. this is something that's now being worked out. as a result of the crackdown that assad is leading and of international -- the inability to formulate a policy and to stick to it on syria. this is really why and i will not repeat basically what the plan that was enunciated by senator mccain is, this is why it's important to be implemented now instead of waiting. time is not on our side. it has never been on our side in this revolution and had there been a more complete action adopted and taken, you know, back in may when we and june and july when we're beginning to see how violent of a course assad is willing to embark on that is when hama was retaken by force i think that was the turning point. the international community had the chance at the time to actually say no, we're not going to allow that and to actually issue a a strong warning after to assad that intervention will be on the table if he continues on this course. instead there was a l

of these are the ones who incited ethnic conflicts in the horn the car above and other places i have no doubt that they had a hand even in their recent trailers in moscow. this just means that people who want to destroy russia are getting ready for changes and i want you through words to get ready for changes to mugged by dispersing the protestors but by realizing what is happening in society. in other words you believe there is no nationalism at all flash or some new russia today to the extent that it would pose a threat to the system. i believe we should stop viewing nationalism as a threat or. nationalism means hope. like patriotism you mean exactly because nationalism should not be ethnic and nation is more than just an eighth and he group it is a combination of ethnic groups that form one culture one civilization every country needs this kind of nationalism to survive spicy about thank you thank you very much for being with us in just a reminder that my guest on the show today was a politician said again. and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to add to your sound

but you have to realize that you ethnic nationalists more sas is much. ellie and to russian society. but they do exist don't say. these are all given in then it to keep people in fear. but we all have seen people marching on the streets mistrust. and i have seen those people getting paid for doing all that. time i was deputy speaker's office to do the people's union speech to russia more in this i was standing on the platform i saw foreign correspondents who asked a group of young people facing them not even facing the platform. there you go for you to claim this foreign correspondents who staged protests in moscow no no no i mean he just came across those young people to damage slike a russian which. they think russia must have facets. they can't comprehend that fascism is a very enticing russian ideology a week so i dressed those young people right from the platform i said what are you doing guy what are you going to do with the money you are discrediting the patriotic forces unfortunately will always have provocative. i'm convinced today more provoke

you know first off this card is played by those who want to use ethnic tensions in order to bring russia down. but by the way these people use a double standard they condemn nationalism when talking about russia i think their views are quite different actually when they talk about their own countries at least ninety percent of the western politicians are nationalists they see the love their nation they see the want to protect their nation's interests but why should russians be any different to soon as we call ourselves russians they almost accuse are still being enticed semitic even if we don't say a word about jews going into them the very word russians is inappropriate so i urge everybody both liberals and even many peter it's to get their alexa construed and stop confusing nationalism with sharpton is someone is mean so you hate other people as you know forbid you're selfish as a nation we should condemn that but loving your country is different it is something every nation needs in order to survive and this is proper nationalism conservative and balanced nationalism. when you knew so

some observers have expressed concern about the ongoing senhilization of ethnic areas. perhaps more importantly the sri lankan government failed to meet expectations to investigating alleged human rights violations and holding culpable individuals accountable. international experts have found credible allegations of serious human rights violations committed by both sides in the last stages of the war, but the perpetrators have not been called to account yet for their crimes. the recommendations of the lessons learned and reconciliation commission, so called llrc, released more than six months ago have yet to be implemented. i and others remain very concerned about the lack of accountability for actions taken during the final days of the war as well as about reports of ongoing human rights violations in the country. in march of 2011, i led a resolution in the senate calling for greater accountability in sri lanka and in november of that year wrote a letter to secretary clinton along with senator it's leahy and cardin calling for an independent international investigation

now have ethnic studies in public schools. students need to know how integrated the history is in building the city. there's a lot to celebrate and reflect upon. it causes us to think about the future of the community. we are such an integrated and central part of the city. it is an honor to be here today. i will bring up supervisor carmen chiu. [applause] >> thank you. i am pleased to be here with my colleagues at the board and others who are here as well. we are here to celebrate asian pacific american heritage month. this kicks off the celebrations we will be having an the recognitions we will be giving. i apologize first. i was at a budget meeting. sadly, that is coming before as quickly. i had to spend some time there. i guess it is true. asians are probably good at math. [laughter] i am just joking. there are many other things we are good at, as you can see from all the people who are here today. we have education leaders, our president of the board who runs a small business, many different levels of expertise. that is w

i am concerned about making sure that our ranks, both police and fire, are ethnic nearly -- ethnically diverse, and that you are also incorporating women. i understand you have a strict testing process that each candidate must go through. i'm curious if you can let me know what you are doing to ensure your recruiting talented people of color, talented people from san francisco that can join the ranks of the fire department. >> i would like to say that one of the things that is very important to the fire department is to reflect the community that we serve. it is a very diverse community. i know we will be talking about the language access ordinance. wethered is people of color or people who do not speak english as their native language, to be able to have emergency services providers to be responsive to that is important. in the late 1980's, there was a federally mandated victory to further diversify the department, which was not very diverse at the time. we're about 15 years proposed that the creek, and we are one of the most avers fire department in the country. we have 15% when work

the third trend that we're seeing, ethnic cleansing.there are two purposes why the assad regime is doing this. one is they are clearing sunni villages and allied areas. unlike washington, the assad regime does have a plan become and that land is to create -- they are going back and clearing out areas in places like elsewhere to make sure that there are no hospitals in the air. the second reason they're doing it is that massacres on the scale they're doing days, hastens civil war, and they want a civil war because if it's an insurgency, they can pick sides. but a civil war, hey, we don't want any of that. domestic stuff. we can get killed. the first when it comes to mind is lebanon in the 1980s. so civil war for assad is a good thing. it keeps us away. it is inexplicably i think on our site are real lack of urgency. not only to end the slaughter, but especially given the potential strategic benefit of assad's fall, vis-À-vis iran in particular. what do we do in the future about this. a shortcut, i think senator mccain has a right. we sho

and some are surprised she is not talk more about the ongoing ethnic conflict. new emergency has broken out to the north. there have been bloody riots on the northern border with bangladesh. 9000 displaced people are in urgent need for aid. >> these abuses have been taking place against the ethnic minorities in burma. it is still those situations there. be sense that the government has reached out to these political groups, but so far, it is refusing to have a political dialogue to address the root causes. >> and there has been a huge personal sacrifice for aung san suu kyi. in 1991, her nobel peace prize was collected by her husband and her sons. she refused to leave burma, knowing the military would never let her return. three years later, her husband died. she had not seen him forour years. she has always argued that her suffering under house arrest pales against those who have spent decades in jail. there are still up to 600 political prisoners in burma today. no wonder some criticize aung san suu kyi for agreeing to work with the government. some would argu

another issue is ethnic tensions involving minority groups. last year, an armed group of people exchanged fire with government troops in an area of dawei under development. groups have been fighting with government forces for decades. the national union reached a cease-fire agreement with the government this january. but their distrust of the government is so deeply rooted that they say it would not approve the development of dawei unless it helped improve their livelihoods. >> translator: we will support the development only if benefits will be distributed to all ethnic minority groups. but if the development is likely to ruin our lives and deprive us of freedom, we cannot support it. >> reporter: myanmar is drawing a lot of attention as asia's last frontier. the key to its economic development lies in whether it can overcome challenges such as ethnic tensions and transform itself into a true democracy. >>> in japan they're using a groundbreaking therapy to treat children born with heart problems. it uses the patient's own heart cells to impr

since he has been the president, human rights violations in ethnic areas have been worse. and it has been getting worse up until now. >> the government of britain would argue, would it not, that he has been making it possible for aung san suu kyi to compete in those elections? he has been quite brave and coming here is, in a sense, a reward for that. >> there is some understanding that they need to have some kind of agreement. the president wants international sanctions wronlif. he wants to show the world that he is reforming. but it is actually not deep reform. that is why it is important for the international community to pay attention to the political situation in burma. of course, there are been some hopeful encouragements, news in burma. they're out been some changes in some areas -- there have been some changes in some areas. but it is important that the international community pay attention to the human rights violations happening in the ethnic areas as well. >> we ought to leave it there. thank you very much for your time. the election authorities in egypt have pos

others, however argue that even more, the ultimate problem is the inherent ethnic turkish inability to accept the fact that turkey should be considered in which the kurds had constitutional rights as cold stakeholders with the turks. during this last several months, where they can intellectuals have been rounded up for alleges affiliations of the pkk, kc k. whose democratic economy suggests a government in turkey. but the pdp, illegitimate pro turkish party. on may 24 of this year, leila saw not, the famous female kurdish leader, who previously had been stripped of her parliamentary seat in 1994 had been served 10 years in prison for a peaceful support pkk proposals was sentenced to another ten-year prison term. her latest sentence reminds one of what the strategy is to say at the bourbon. they learn learned nothing and forgotten nothing. these arrests point to serious problems. first, there is the nature of the crimes, which allege no violence. mere association is enough to be counted as a terrorist. in addition, they are tenuous as human rights watch has noted, resting my same in add

then we'll look at a little bit about how immigrant politics or ethnic politics changes as you get into the early 20th century. during that era you see a slower pace of naturalization. you get fewer and fewer immigrants who are coming into the united states and very quickly becoming citizens, the pace of naturalization slows down. there is a number of different reasons we'll talk about. you still see immigrants engaged in american public life and american civic life pretty intensely, and so you still have a process where immigrants are participating in politics while also remaining within their own ethnic communities and developing these same hyphenated identities. you could be, again, italian-american, polish-american and so forth in this period. all of this sort of comes to a head in the first part of the 20th century doing some of the stuff we already talked about and read about with the rise of nativism, and particularly the stuff that jacobson outlined for you. and immigrants are facing this onslaught, demands to restrict immigration and demands to prevent immigrants from becoming

everyone sitting just east of the urals the country's border between europe and asia this is an ethnically diverse area of more than three million people there's a bustling capital city to enjoy and for the nature lovers some of russia's most stunning countryside is right on your doorstep. as well as being very beautiful this is also a very significant part of the screed because over there it marks the start of the european ural mountains and also we're on top of one of russia's most significant logical treasures. just a few meters away is the entrance to the ignaty of sky cave and it's supposed to contain some of the best preserved ancient artwork in the country. definitely the place. yes lydia hello will my going to libya is an archaeologist who's been studying the cave for more than twenty years the drawings here are from the paleolithic period and i believe to illustrate the local tribesmen has rights of passage. you can see this little red clay mock up there on the walls it's supposed to take that. thousand years and this cave was used by young men as a sacred place where they would c
