DISCRIMINATION RACE

What Is Racial Discrimination ?
Racial discrimination is segregating a certain section of the society who a are minorities and not giving them a propertreatment. For example the discrimination against the blacks is the most common type of racial discrimination prevalent in the US. However, today there are many types of racial discrimination present in the society.
Even though African Americans today have come out of the racial discrimination effects and are now hoping to lead a more free life despite being through hardships, they can be verydiscriminating against minorities. When the Americans were losing jobs several Chinese and Indians were blamed. Also, people started ill treating Indians and Chinese who were blamed for taking away jobs from the Americans. This type of racial discrimination was caused by the government and its poor policies in the United States.
While there was no violence there still was a lot of prejudice in people.After the 9/11 attacks, things changed for the Muslims and Arabs who were residents of the US forever. Several of them were deported just because they were Muslims or Arabs.
