Project: Class Over Race as a Basis of Unjust Economic Inequality

Some analysts content that class position is more determinative of ones life chances that is race, ethnicity, gender, etc  in the developed nations.  This point of view is based on the idea that there has been 'a declining significance of race.'  The bottom line here is that we understand that it takes economic & social resources to get ahead.  These resources include being able to afford to live in an area w/ good schools & good jobs.  Being able to go to college.  Having a supportive family & peer group that rewards our efforts toward success, & so on. 

1.  Is this analysis correct?  Why or why not? 

2.  Is there 'a declining significance of race?'

3.  Is the lack of resources that enable people to get ahead more a function of race, ethnicity, gender, etc. or whether one is in the lower, working, middle, or upper middle class? 

4.  If one accepts the argument that class is more the basis of oppression than race, ethnicity, gender, etc. does this mean there is no discrimination in the workplace?  Let us know whether you have experienced or heard of actual cases of discrimination in the workplace, or not. 

5.  If one accepts the argument that class is more the basis of oppression than race, ethnicity, gender, etc, does this mean all programs to help the less fortunate should be eliminated?
