Local racism--not just in the South
By Brian Bubak
Oittf Emtrak)
“Racism in Eugene is the
same as racism in Alabama,”
said Manuel Pacheco, director
of the University high school
equivalency program
Pacheco, along with four
others, took part in a panel dis
cussion on racism sponsored by
the Eugene chapter of Clergy
and Laity Concerned
"Racism is institutionalized in
our society," Pacheco said
Given the occasion, he cau
tioned, overtly racist acts will
occur
Racist acts are occuring con
tinually in the area, said Gor
ham He pointed out that the
absence of local media cover
age does not mean such acts
aren't happening
Incidents cited by the panel
point out racial grafitti on dor
mitory walls. Indian parties at a
local restaurant where wai
tress s don traditional Native
American costumes and police
harrassment of Black youths,
are, in Kent Gorham's words
"just the tip of the iceberg."
Gorham is a human rights
specialist for the City of Eugene
Racist activities, like those
cited by the panel, are often
swallowed up" and are over
looked by society, said Misa
Joo. of the Eugene minorities
council
Joo. a Eugene school teacher
as well as minority activist, said
she believes children are taught
racism at a very young age

She noted the materials used
in education reflects the inher
ent racism in our culture.
Joo also said that racism
hasn't changed much in 40
years She cited the incarcera
tion of Japanese Americans
during World War II as a prime
example
The legal basis by which this
happened still exsists," Joo
warned
She calls all minorities to unity
in finding a solution to their op
pression
Blacks, as well as other min
orities, are still suffering bla
tant inadequacies in everyday
America, said Patricia Creal,
director of LCC’s multi-cultural
center.
Racism is spreading and must
be delt with, Creal stressed, ad
ding the best way to combat it is
through education
"We need to educate each
other that racism is still on the
move — we need to erase
racism from our vocabularies
and our hearts.”
Racism is an unavoidable
aspect of everyday life for the
Native American, said Maria
Tenorio, of the Indian child wel
fare projject.
"To our people it’s a fact of

life it pervades everything.”
One member of the audience
spoke up to say she did not
experienced overt racism until
she moved to Eugene from the
east coast 10 years ago.
The woman, who wished to
remain anonymous for fear of
retaliation, said “I never had a
cross burned on my lawn until I
moved to Lane County."
