During this class, there will be discussions about the poor treatment of immigrants from Asia and Native Americans.  Native Americans were greatly affected by the influx of people into California, including violence against Native Americans.  If any insensitive comments are made during class while discussing marginalized groups, the comment will be addressed and then the teacher will redirect the discussion.
