• Ethnic Studies based on the name itself is a study of racial profile and ethnicity of diverse people with different kinds of culture. Ethnic Studies can be similar to sociology and anthropology because it relates to the study of discipline amongst individuals with different culture and traditions. 
• Ethnic Studies was developed as a discipline to illustrate the struggles, stories, and success of people with their own color. It's unique because students get to know how racial profiling can affect people's life. 
• I think everyone benefits from an Ethnic Study course because after taking this course, students have a better knowledge of the triumph and the sacrifices for civil rights and freedom for African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans and for all immigrants. Also, with the students better understanding of Ethnic studies, they learn how to respect each culture in a diverse country. 
• Arizona and other states are considering banning Ethnic studies because the government feels that it promotes the overthrow of the U.S. government and it also promotes resentment to a specific race. 
• It helps Mexican-American decent or other ethnicity prove their self-esteem in the class. Also, Ethnic studies provides knowledge of an individual's own culture and their heritage. While others believe that it made students that doesn't belong to the culture uncomfortable.
