During the mission of Americans civilizing the natives they also try to turn Native American to Christians so they can save themselves. In “Iroquois chief red jacket decries the day when whites arrived” Sagoyewatha addresses the Mississippi missionaries about how their God the Great Spirit crated this land for them, he created cows, buffaloes and other animals and resources for their use. The natives never fought each other if they had any problem they would be settled by talk. Native American…

Survivors of war have had to endure some of the most perilous conditions in history to fight for their country. Deplorable living conditions, uncertainty at every corner, and the ominous feeling of impending death. Yet even with these egregious conditions, minority soldiers dealt with far worse conditions than white, straight servicemen ever faced. Black soldiers experienced segregation and savage physical assault, while Japanese and gay soldiers often faced isolation and psychological…

This passage is the starting point to Yang 's argument that Asian-Americans do not receive creditability for their achievements because of their race.

As John Locke once said “[A]ll mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his [or her] life, health, liberty or possessions.” Stated above, people born of this world are given natural rights regardless of gender or ethnicity, and no one can impinge them. However, throughout the timeline of American history, there have been numerous instances that contradict this natural equality. It has become apparent that one race ostensibly ‘rules all’ and is dominant in every…

Clarence Darrow states “History repeats itself, and that one of the things that’s wrong with history.” We all know history will repeat itself in its own way but the way people are treated during these times needs to change with the history. For example the treatment of the Japanese and the Muslims after the terrorist attacks is seen as unfair and is questioned if it was necessary. Even though these two ethnic groups were viewed differently they had a lot of similarities to how they treated…

Environmental racism is a concept that segregates low-income or minority communities from the wealthy or richer communities because their community is chosen to place hazardous, toxic waste in proximity of their environment, which creates pollution and an unhealthy physical and mental state over higher income communities.

This is shown extensively in American literature, which has portrayed Native Americans in numerous ways. In some literature, such as in earlier years, the Europeans viewed Native Americans as savages—recognizing them as inhuman and comparing them to animals. While, later on in literature, the…
