A Bacteria That Constantly Mutates

Abstract
Racism resembles bacteria. It has an uncanny ability to resist cures. Like bacteria, racism
includes variants with unusual traits which have the ability to withstand an antibiotic attack on a
microbe. For the moment the drug or laws kill the defenseless bacteria, “leaving behind — or
‘selecting,’ in biological terms — those that can resist it. These renegade bacteria then multiply,
increasing their numbers a millionfold in a day, becoming the predominant microorganism.” My
point is that we once believed that racism had been defined and that we were on our way to
eradicate this ugly social disease only to find it active and well, but in another form.

SUGGESTED CITATION
Acuña, Rodolfo F. (Ph.D.) “The Illusive Race Question and Class: A Bacteria that Constantly
Mutates,” JSRI Occasional Paper #59, The Julian Samora Research Institute, Michigan State
University, East Lansing, Michigan, 2005.
The Julian Samora Research Institute is committed to the generation, transmission, and
application of knowledge to serve the needs of Latino communities in the Midwest. To this end, it has
organized a number of publication initiatives to facilitate the timely dissemination of current research
and information relevant to Latinos.
• Research Reports: JSRI’s flagship publications for scholars who want a quality publication with more detail than
usually allowed in mainstream journals. These are produced in-house. Research Reports are selected for their
significant contribution to the knowledge base of Latinos.
• Working Papers: for scholars who want to share their preliminary findings and obtain feedback from others in
Latino studies.
• Statistical Briefs/CIFRAS: for the Institute’s dissemination of “facts and figures” on Latino issues and conditions.
Also designed to address policy questions and to highlight important topics.

consider the ending of poverty a worthwhile goal. Euro-Americans increasingly wanted the poor to just go
away. According to U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, "The fact is that most people who have no skill have no edu-
cation for the same reason-low intelligence or low ambition:'48
Bureaucratic conflict also weakened the War on Poverty. The Department of Labor refused to cooperate
with OEO; social workers perceived it as a threat to the welfare bureaucracy and their hegemony among the
poor. Local politicians claimed that OEO programs "fostered class struggle." Meanwhile, as government officials
and others quickly gained control of the programs, the participation of the poor declined. By 1966, President
Johnson began dismantling the OEO, with Head Start going to Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Job
Corps, to the Department of Labor. He then substituted the "Model Cities" program for OEO. Johnson, faced
with opposition within his own party over the war in Vietnam, announced that he would not seek reelection.
The assassination of Robert Kennedy during the California primary also dealt a blow to Mexican American
hope. The election of Richard Nixon in 1968 put the proverbial final nail in the coffin.
Impart of the War on Poverty
The impact of the War on Poverty on Chicanos was huge. A study of 60 OEO advisory boards in East Los
Angeles-Boyle Heights-South Lincoln Heights, for instance-showed that 1,520 individuals, 71 percent of
whom lived in these communities, served on the boards; two-thirds were women. Many Chic;ano activists of
the 1960s developed a sense of political consciousness as a result of poverty programs, which advertised the
demands and grievances of the poor and created an ideology that legitimized protest. Many minorities came to
learn that they had the right to work in government and to petition it. Legal aid programs and Head Start, a
public preschool system, also proved invaluable to the poor. The number of poor fell dramatically between
1965 and 1970 as Social Security, health, and welfare payments more than doubled. When the federal govern-
ment cut the last of the War on Poverty programs in the 1980s, poverty escalated.49
MAGNETIZATION OF THE BORDER <t--VJ -\\ e....'(' -e_
A population boom in Mexico tossed millions into Mexico's labor pool, thus intensifying the push factors. In
1950, Mexico had a population of 25.8 million; it jumped to 34.9 million 10 years later and was rushing toward
50 million by the end of the 1960s. Driving this increase was the fertility rate of Mexican women, which
increased from an average of 1.75 percent in 1922-1939 to 2.25 percent in 1939-1946 and to 6.9 percent in
the late 1950s. Mexico had the fastest-growing gross national product (GNP) in Latin America, but it did not
offset this increase in population.
The termination of the bracero (guest worker) program in 1964 worsened Mexico's econ.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

does not just mark deviance. Used as accusation toward
the already deviant, disease intensifies the rhetoric of
hatred, fear, and blame utilized against undesirable
populations. It shifts the quality of this rhetoric from the
socially constructed to the medically legitimated, from a
vaguely if forcefully defined rationale of difference to a
rational basis for surveillance, control, and exclusion."

9. Manifest Destiny
• (National level) [Manifest Destiny] (ideology)
• Who is not seen as capable of self-government?
• Inherently a racial ideology
• Economic motivations (material conditions)
• - Westward expansion
• -phrase used to justify continental expansion
10. • “…we have never dreamt of incorporating into our Union
any but the Caucasian race--the free white race. To
incorporate Mexico would be the very first instance of the
kind of incorporating an Indian race… I protest against
such a union as that!
• –-Former Vice President and then South Carolina
Senator John Calhoun
11. • The Mexican provinces are filled with a population, not only
degraded, but of every possible shade and variety of color
and complexion, from the deep black of the negro, to the
sallow white of the Mexican Indian…If we annex these
provinces to our Union, will we admit those who are now the
free citizens of Mexico to the privileges of American
citizenship? ..If this policy should be pursued… One of two
consequences must follow annexation: either the American
slave must become free, or the Mexican negro and mulatto
must become slaves (U.S. Congress 1847, 133).
• --Congressman James Pollock (also originator of the phrase,
“In God we trust,” used on US currency)
20. • My Dear Chairman Johnson:
• The danger of an unrestricted Mexican Amerind influx lies in the differential
birth rates. I have not here the exact statistics. However we may say
approximately that the Old American stock averages perhaps 3 children per
family. We found in the poor neighborhood * in one unit an average of +9
children. These averages show 2 families yielding the 3rd generation
respectively. 27 Americans, 729 Mexican peons (PAGE 4) while the
American 3-child average will be found approximately correct, there are
probably no available statistics as to American families that are worth much.
My own population-pressure studies, which are world wide and over many
years, indicate it is difficult to find a more fecund group than the Amerind.
•
• A Mexican peon mass, free from revolution and under American
sanitation, means a terrific problem in the future. Our negro slave
immigration was, say 750,000. Their descendants must number over
10,000,000. Our peon population nucleus today may be 3 or 4 times the
slave beginning. It is tragic that there is any delay over establishing the
Quota against Latin America.

seldom become naturalized. They know little of
sanitation, are very low mentally, and are generally
unhealthy.”

Quoting from a 1926 report by the California
Commission of Immigration and Housing

• “large, socially under-privileged Mexican
population…would unquestionably become a public
health problem” --County social worker Zdenka Buben
• Return to biological determinism
• Ex-Tuberculosis in Racial Types with Special Reference
to Mexicans,” by Dr. Benjamin Goldberg,
• Claimed: “all men are not created equal” and that “health
heredity is a part of biological heredity.” Thus, he called
for stricter immigration laws, warning the public that the

• “the inborn characteristics" of "the Mexican element,"
which had a "desire to use a knife or some [other] lethal
weapon.”
• Although a wild cat and a domestic cat are of the same
family they have certain biological characteristics so
different that while one may be domesticated the other
would have to be caged to be kept in captivity; and there
is practically as much difference between the races of
man.”
Beginning in 1916, Mexicans who crossed the US–Mexico border underwent intrusive, humiliating, and harmful chemical baths and physical examinations at the direction of the US Public Health Service (USPHS). The rationale for these actions was the belief that Mexicans were bringing disease into the United States. Thus, public health policies helped to secure the US–Mexico border and to mark Mexicans as outsiders even before the advent of more readily identifiable gatekeeping institutions such as the border patrol, created in 1924.
The prevalence and power of eugenic thought is perhaps apparent in the passage of state laws, beginning in 1907, that mandated forced sterilization of those men and women considered “mentally inferior” or otherwise “unfit to propagate.” California passed a sterilization law in 1909 and by 1964, the state had sterilized 20,000 people. * to include largest state- The majority were poor women, with women of color and immigrant women sterilized at disproportionately higher rates.
Public health nurse Margaret Thomas (shown here circa 1925, back left) traveled throughout western Montana organizing well baby clinics, lecturing on
The majority of public health officials distanced themselves from the most extreme eugenicist policies. But just as the foundation of eugenic thought rested on a belief in a racial hierarchy, so too did many public health programs
