Answer:

this is the story my mom used to tell me.  

our skin in white.  and people even go to lengths to dye their skin an even lighter shade of white(the lighter your skin was the wealthier you were).  

But as times came rolling around and segregation ended and the modern era started, people stopped caring so much about having white white skin.  The natural tone was kind of yellow so people kind of used it is as a racist term.  

hope this helped

Answer:  The term yellow occasionally began to appear towards the end of the 18th century and then really took hold of the Western imagination in the 19th. But by the 17th century, the Chinese and Japanese were “darkening” in published texts, gradually losing their erstwhile whiteness when it became clear they would remain unwilling to participate in European systems of trade, religion, and international relations.

Explanation: The racist and cultural stereotypes of the Yellow Peril originated in the late 19th century, when Chinese workers (people of different skin-color, physiognomy, language and culture) legally immigrated to Australia, Canada, the U.S. and New Zealand, where their work ethic inadvertently provoked a racist backlash.

Which of the following best explains why Clarence Saunders Keedoozle concept failed?
vladimir1956 [14]
It failed because either the change did not work well in many business settings, or it was inefficient (due to the inefficiency of the conveyer-belt system). A more accurate reason is that the circuits couldn't handle the traffic during peak hour. The customer's orders were regularly mixed up. The conveyer-belt system was not fast enough or efficient enough to handle it.

How does the Constitution limit the power of the Congress?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Limits on Congress
pass ex post facto laws, which outlaw acts after they have already been committed. pass bills of attainder, which punish individuals outside of the court system. suspend the writ of habeas corpus, a court order requiring the federal government to charge individuals arrested for crimes.


Why did the founders of the nation want to limit the powers of Congress? ... Congress had to be strng and powerful to avoid the failure of the Articles of Confederation, but it also had to have clear limits so citizens would be protected from authoritarian action by Congress.

Hope this helps

In general, how did life for rural americans differ from lifes or urban americans\
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Rural Americans were much more self-sufficient than Urban Americans. They had farms or often went hunting or similar things and didn't rely that much on money and getting manufactured goods or store-bought food. Urban Americans however had other opportunities such as higher chance of chasing their careers or educating themselves or participating in daily life and political events and similar things.
