Is racial discrimination serious in America?

Most blacks are at the bottom of American society and they will never turn over. First, among all ethnic groups, blacks have the lowest income level. According to the statistics in 2000, the average annual income of black Americans is only 62.9% of that of white Americans. Poverty is the root of many problems: living in slums and not being able to afford a good community not only leads to poor living conditions, but also poor social environment and social atmosphere; Low income, not only bad material life, but also vulgar spiritual life; Low income affects the ability to educate children (financial resources and parents' energy to educate children), and so on. Second, among all ethnic groups, blacks have the lowest educational level. In the United States, according to the proportion of receiving high school education or above, Asians rank first, Europeans rank second (there is little difference between the two), Hispanics rank third and African Americans rank fourth. Less education, low scientific and cultural level, poor ability, unable to find a good job, low income and poverty; If the family is poor, the children's education will be poor. As a result, poverty and lack of education are mutually causal, forming a "vicious circle". What needs to be added is that black people's cultural traditions make them not pay attention to their children's education, and often let their children grow naturally; At the same time, because of poverty, many families apply for social security benefits, encourage them to have more children (one more child, one more subsidy), and reach out to the government when they encounter difficulties. Children and adults are not as hard and diligent as Hispanics and Asians. Third, black teenagers don't go to school well, and the proportion of street wandering is much higher than that of other ethnic groups. This is the inevitable result of family poverty and neglect of education and control of children. Fourth, the residential environment is not good, there are many teenagers wandering the streets, and the social order and public security are poor. Most of the areas where black poor people gather are areas where alcoholism, prostitution, drug trafficking, theft, robbery and serious criminal offences are rampant. Big cities in the United States have such slums, where the residents are mainly black, followed by Hispanics and other ethnic minorities. People living in such areas are mostly poor for generations and "will never be able to turn over." There are also a few people who have obtained college education or above through struggle, or rely on the natural sports and music talents of blacks to "take the lead". Once you become rich, you will no longer live in slums and move to a good community. Slums are still the same. There is an artist from China who wants to go to America. Many China artists who came to the United States before him advised him that if you want to come to the United States to develop your own art, please give up your delusion; If it is other factors, we welcome you to come soon. But he came to the United States with the idea of being an art, which made him feel that the "pioneer" proposal was very reasonable, and he also had a slight retreat. Once, he met an American colleague, who was an art professor in a university. The professor read some of his works and found them very good, urging him to stay in the United States for development. He expressed his concern that there was racial discrimination in the United States. The professor laughed and said, there may be some discrimination, but as long as your work is good and has potential, there will be absolutely no problem. Soon, the professor introduced him to a famous gallery manager. After seeing his works, the man immediately made a decision: vacate a room in the main exhibition hall to display a series of his works. He suggested that his favorite series of works was another, which meant change. The manager said, then I'll give you another one and show it at the same time! This shocked him and his colleagues. The professor said to him, this gallery is very picky. The famous professors in our university only occupy a whole exhibition hall here. It seems that you are particularly interested in the manager! That China artist was Bing Xu, who later won the MacArthur Award, the highest prize in the American art world. From this incident, I think racial discrimination in the United States is not as serious as we thought. With a little attention, it is not difficult to find that the United States has always been the most desirable destination for studying or immigrating to other countries in the world, and most of the arrivals try their best to stay. This shows that racial discrimination in the United States is not as serious as in other developed countries, except for economic reasons. This seems unreasonable, because we know that slavery has not been abolished in the United States for a long time, and it is not easy to get to this situation today. So, how did the United States get to such a prosperous situation today? I think besides political factors, the factors of capitalist market economy are also indispensable. In America, as long as you are a businessman, you will face equal competition. If you want to be in a favorable position in the competition or survive, in a word, to get better profits than others, you have to ignore racial differences. You can't refuse to use a patented technology just because the holder is black or other ethnic minorities. Otherwise, you will soon go bankrupt because of the failure of competition. This is why top talents from all over the world can easily establish themselves in the United States. On the other hand, if you have nothing, even if you become an American citizen, it will only increase the burden on the United States or "take away" the easiest job, then racial discrimination will inevitably occur. In the United States today, in my opinion, market discrimination far exceeds racial discrimination.
