Annabelle Wintson Bower History 8A March 12, 2018 Title Although the slavery was abolished in 1865, the rights given to African Americans were not nearly equal to those of white Americans. After slavery was abolished, inequality in American society ran high, and many laws were put in place to restrict the rights and abilities of African Americans. Some laws include the Jim Crow Laws (1870 to 1950s) and the Supreme Court Ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) that ruled that there could be “separate but equal” facilities and services for people of color and white Americans.
African Americans still had a struggle even when the war ended until they had equal rights. In the 1900 's schools businesses local streets and restrooms the blacks were classified as second class citizens. In 1909 a group of prominent black and white people created a group called the national association for the advancement colored people their was to increase racial equality. In 1955 a school opened were blacks and whites could go together; causes peaceful marches and protest.

Also, almost immediately after WW2, Cold War began and the US wanted to “extend its democratic ideals to immigrants of color and acknowledge its diversity,” which would pose an issue as the own citizen’s of America we not reaping the benefits of the democracy they wanted to promote (Takaki 358).

In the beginning of the 1900s, racism and discrimination were extremely prevalent. This issue was even more apparent in the South due to the Jim Crow laws that allowed segregation and violence against Black citizens. Because of this, “The Great Migration” occurred and many African Americans began to move to northern cities. This event was a precursor to The Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a time of expression and revitalization of African American music, art, dance, literature, and much more.
At the turn of the century, America and Japan were in good spirits with each other. In President William McKinely’s Annual Message to Congress, he reported “Japan's declarations in favor of the integrity of the Chinese Empire and the conservation of open world trade therewith have been frank and positive” and “under the treaties(American purchase of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Guam) which took effect July 17, 1899, has proceeded without international friction, showing the competence of the Japanese to hold a foremost place among modern peoples'' showing the happy relationship between the two countries and setting the standard for what America strived for the relationship to be like in the following years(William 1900). However, the multiple accounts of the rising tensions followed by Diplomacy slowly broke the relationship down. The Gentlemen’s Agreement starting in 1905 was the first time conflict between the countries has risen. This was the start of the Anti-Japanese policy in America and despite setting it with the agreement at the time, the policy rooted itself within the country slowly splintering the American Japanese bond.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a large portion of Americans were restricted from civil and political rights. In American government in Black and White (Second ed.), Paula D. McClain and Steven C. Tauber and Vanna Gonzales’s power point slides, the politics of race and ethnicity is described by explaining the history of discrimination and civil rights progress for selective groups. Civil rights were retracted from African Americans and Asian Americans due to group designation, forms of inequality, and segregation. These restrictions were combatted by reforms such as the Thirteenth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, etc. Although civil and political
1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background of the Issue The purpose this report is written is to investigate the consequences of Asian stereotypes in America and how it has affected the teenagers living in America. This topic has been widely studied by many researchers to find a correlation between Asian stereotypes and the effects on them. Asian-American stereotype, also known as “ model minority ”, portrays an Asian as someone that does not comprehend or speak English well, excels academically especially in Mathematics, timid, anti-social ,moral, uptight, and lacks non-verbal knowledge etc. (Zhang 2010).
Asian Americans include persons that come to the United States from a variety of countries in Asia and the Indian subcontinent (McNamara & Burns, 2009). Although the do share similar physical features, each subgroup has its own history, customs, and culture (McNamara & Burns, 2009). There are many different perceptions of Asian Americans in general. One is that they have overcome barriers and discrimination to be successful and achieve the ‘American Dream’ (McNamara & Burns, 2009). One reason for this I believe is that the majority of Asian Americans come to the United States with a dream and a goal to be successful.
The nature of American society is racist as many social problems in the United States have racial aspects to them. Poverty, educational attainment, and basic social conduct are all affected by racial discrimination. While certain institutions discriminate against people of color unfairly, it is more important to understand the social awareness people of color must develop in order to live in a society where their skin color alone puts them at a disadvantage. Socioeconomic class, educational advancement, and social norms are influenced by racial factors. People of color are more likely to have a lower socioeconomic status, and mobility is near impossible because of the disadvantages people of color have compared to those who are not of color.
The 20th century can be fairly considered as the most important period in the history of African American people because it is just the time when racism discrimination was overcome. For many years before the beginning of the struggle for rights of African-American people, there was a legal system based on white supremacy. African Americans didn't have a real opportunity to vote. Segregation was spread everywhere: black people were not allowed to take seats in public transport which belonged to whites, they could not attend universities and schools for white people, it was even forbidden to drink from the same drinking fountains. Many shops and stores, cafes and restaurants refused service African Americans and treated them as inferior people.
In the history, United States has received much more immigrants than any other countries in the world which is estimated approximately fifty million people in total and 70,000 people per year. That is why United States is considered as an intercultural community including many cultural groups such as Native American, African American, Asian American, American Indian and Alaska Native and some other races. Asian American is the group that has been dramatically increased. However, there are still some issues which need to be discussed when using the term Asian American.
