Equality. An idea that Americans believe is present in today’s society. The truth is that inequality can still be found throughout the US most of which is pertaining to multiculturalism. Racial inequality has come a long way since the 19th century but in no way has it been eliminated from society.

Humans already have to go through enough hardships in life, they do not need the extra burden of dealing with racist people telling them they do not belong here. Kids should be taught and given “equal educational opportunity no matter what their race, ethnic background, religion, sex, or whether they are rich or poor, citizen or non-citizen” (Right to an Equal Education 1). All human beings should be treated equally and kindly. Acts of racial discrimination include the failure to provide…

Above all one should take into consideration whether or not stereotypes perpetuated in the media are a true reflection of ethnic groups and individuals within these groups.

The closest term in the lexicon of our racial language in the U.S. that I would be able to relate to is “Arab”—on the basis of having the same religion but not the same culture. Afghanistan is neither considered an Arab country nor can it be considered Asian. Being a third cultured kid, I have always…

Sometimes I think that is the worst part; people do not always recognize my Asian blood and therefore do not hold back in the degrading comments that they make. When I was in high school, especially when sitting in a history class, there were always classmates who felt the need to throw out inapt remarks, hoping to receive a laugh from the class. A…

In southeastern Asian parents’ eyes, marrying within the same ethnic group also counts as being the “perfect” son or daughter. At a young age, Jeff Yang’s mom illustrated his road map into the future, “‘One, practice piano. Two, go to a good college. Three, become a doctor. And four, marry a nice Taiwanese girl” (Yang). Chinese and Vietnamese parents make sure their child is well rounded in everything, and that includes speaking the parent’s native tongue and understanding the culture — it is…
