The module explores the issues of access to language programs together with recognition of the foreign educational qualifications and also work experience. All these issues are relating to race, gender and class and how they impacted experiences of women as settle in Canada. The argument is that aspect of settlement together with multicultural policies and programs has focused a lot on cultural diversity (Carr, 2009). However, it should concentrate on inequalities that exist in ethnic and racial categories of individuals. In a certain way, multicultural policies have constructed and reconstructed gender and racial inequity. Indeed, the history shows that it has done little to combat racism, ethnocentrism, sexism or classism in the work experience of immigrant women.
A perfect example which shows inequality based on gender and race is about renaming the brand of Quaker Oats that features auntie Jemima. It is acknowledged that the brand is highly based on racial stereotype as it features a black woman who has mockery history of American – American women (Thompson, 2015). The criticism against the brand has renewed national debate that has been triggered by the recent death of George Floyd. It is a scenario which shows that discrimination based on either race, gender and social class is still deeply rooted in American Countries
It is a fact that issue of inequality in either race, gender and class, has been evolving and passed to generations. It is an alarming situation which needs particular remedies or corrective actions to be undertaken. One of the corrective measures to be undertaken is the critical feminist conflict strategy to the multiculturalism. It can act as an alternative model for the analysis and be used as a vessel of establishing gender- just and equitable race and society (Carr, G2009). It is also a way of attaining equitable and democratic society where every person gets sense of belonging despite the race, gender or social class.
