In Response to "Asian Pacific
Americans' Social Movements and Interest Groups" by Kim Geron
To this
day I still believe there is racism in the country. America is known for its
diversity and opportunities that are offered. Even though there is still racism
to this day. It isn't as apparent as before where Asian immigrants had to focus
much of their effort at protecting themselves. Today racism is more kept to one
self because of laws preventing out right discrimination. In the past, slaves
were beaten, after they gained their freedom there were segregated and hated
upon by the whites. As I was growing up, I did not live in a predominately
Asian neighborhood. I lived a town where Latinos make up most of the
population. For me it was kind of hard to live there and as I grew up I learned
more about discrimination and I dealt with it myself. Sometimes I just hate
where I grew up but looking back now I realizes that discrimination can come
from many reasons.
Will the
United States ever become a country where racism and discrimination ever be
gone in the near future? Even if there are government policies that help other
people, I wonder if it really does help? And is the government really helping
out its people and not benefiting for their own agenda?
