• 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 lives. Also, Ethnic Studies illustrates the history of people with color, like Martin Luther King Jr. I'm interested in tackling other racial discrimination about Asian-Americans and Latino-Americans.
• 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. Students who weren't Mexican-American decent are uncomfortable discussing ethnic studies because they might feel 'out-of-place' or they're race might be the reason of racial discrimination that happened a long time ago. 
• Probably Americans or other race may be resistant to teaching Ethnic Studies because it doesn't enhance their own culture but it teaches other cultures. The groups that may be in favor of ethnic studies are groups that have different race like African-American, Latino-American, Filipino-American, Asian-American and other ethnicities because this studies is also a way to know more about oneself's culture and also to gain knowledge about other cultures as well. This question I'm not sure about and I'll be able to find this answer at my Ethnic Studies class. 
• The benefit of learning history through ethnic studies is understanding more of the different cultures around us. A diverse country like us should be more aware of some cultures that we can interact with and socialize with. The drawbacks of this studies might be if students learn about other race's culture, they might take advantage and make an issue or discrimination big.
