For this discussion, you will be divided into two groups. Group 1 will argue that color blindness is the best approach in the context of the questions below. Group 2 will advance multiculturalism as a more useful solution to issues of racism, again within the context of the questions below:

• Is American society in danger of hardening or increasing the divisions among racial and ethnic groups?
• Is there too much emphasis on pluralism? Does this create subpopulations that will view others with considerable hostility, or is hostility more likely with an emphasis on assimilation? Which does America want?
• If everyone is competing for the same limited resources, how is this tension best mitigated?

You have been chosen for Group 2. Minimum 300 words. Include references
