Chinese immigrants had a harder time to assimilate into the United States because of the history of racial discrimination.

The United States is a diverse country in terms of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality among others and this difference are perceived differently by every American resulting in stereotyping, discrimination, and inequality. Racial discrimination and inequality is a social issue in the United States that has caused many social injustices to the minority groups. This paper reviews the works of two authors on the issue of diversity – Blink in Black and White by Malcolm Gladwell and The Model
Racial discrimination in any era, mostly because humans try to justify their behaviour by putting themselves in a more favourable position than others, it’s almost like a competition between nations and religions. In a sense, the world’s history is almost like a history of war, the fundamental reason is the hidden pursuit of self-interest and the amplification of superiority, hence inducing the discrimination against others’ nations. We would think that by this century, humans would treat each other
The US society has a long history of racism against black people in terms of the social, political, and economic exploitation of Black people in the hands of the white. It is also an undeniable fact that racial discrimination against black people in the U.S society is one of the negative aspects of this society.

situations can be described as racial discriminations. In 1930s and 1940s, there were some historical events took place in Los Angeles that affected the relationship between different ethnic groups and the transformation of different ethnic groups in social position.

In July 2011 the percentage of unemployed African Americans and Hispanics were double that of whites (huffingpost.com). Discrimination is still going on right now. In lots of workplaces African Americans and hispanics’ paid less than the average white person (khanacademy.org). Families that come to the united states get harassed
When I think of racial discrimination, I automatically include prejudice and stereotyping. I believe that these go hand in hand and without one the others are irrelevant. Meaning, if we did not have racial discrimination, prejudice and stereotyping would not exist. This is my personal belief. The definition of race in our class book is as follows “Race typically refers to appearances, such as skin color, hair type (straight, curly, kinky), skin hue, eye color, stature, body size, nose, eyes, and
When we speak about race equality, we only think as far as black and white people, when it’s actually a lot more in depth than just the two. Racism is when a person or people of a certain color or origin feel as though they are better than another group of people, who are different than they are. Racism has been going on since time can date back. In this world, especially in the United States, we need race quality. According to different races, you’ll get different answers on the other races.

Fucking coconuts: Intra-racial discrimination “Oh my god you are such a fucking coconut;” that is a phrase I hear sometimes being by one Mexican to another. The word “fucking” is important in that sentence as it is inserted to emphasize the disapproval felt by the person doing the name calling.
