(Please be a little nice on my abstract. I typically write abstracts at the end of my paper, but my abstract has never been a strong suit of mine; so, I wrote this one in the most basic form possible. If you have some help with writing abstracts, that would be so appreciated!)
Asians face harsh discrimination in American society without much awareness.

One ethnic group is one of the largest in the worlds, but faces difficulties everyday in a country of freedom-- Asians.
[Working Thesis] Upgraded from a “despised minority”, Asians face less difficulty than the past but reveal the complicated roles of racism in America. Racisms invades the lives of Asian American in not only their social lives but as well in their careers. The core of society can be changed through the understanding of the new generation and with the proper ideals on race.

It isn’t uncommon for many Americans to laugh, for we laugh at stereotype jests aimed at us. However, I think some of the stereotypes hanging around Asians can be harsh and almost a little too much with little people to support
