Is there still racial discrimination in America?

Racial discrimination in the United States has the basic characteristics of persistence, systematicness and comprehensiveness, which seriously threatens the protection and realization of human rights of ethnic minorities in that country.

Judging from the overall situation in 20 18, racial discrimination in the field of law enforcement and justice in the United States has not improved, hate crimes, especially anti-Semitism, are rampant, ethnic minorities are in an extremely unfavorable position in the economic, social, work, health and other fields, and the xenophobic remarks of senior government officials have further aggravated the racist wave in American society.

Racism refers to a person's contempt, disgust and rejection of races other than himself, which is manifested in his words and actions.

In modern times, racial discrimination began in the colonial era and reached its peak in the period headed by the apartheid system in the form of government.

After the Second World War in the 20th century, the independence movement in the third world and the racial equality movement in western countries, the political correctness related to race became more and more serious in many countries in the world, and racial differences should not be summarized by racial discrimination. In immigrant countries, racial problems cannot be simply covered up by racial discrimination.

However, on the other hand, the complexity of modern racial problems has led to more problems such as "reverse discrimination".

The manifestations of racial discrimination are openness, legality, concealment and practicality. In South Africa, racial discrimination is manifested in apartheid, which is the basic national policy of white racists and has a history of more than 300 years. Since the mid-20th century, white racist authorities have promulgated more than 100 racial discrimination laws.

Blacks and Indians in America, aborigines in Oceania, former colonial immigrants in Europe, ethnic minorities and foreign workers, "tribesmen" and caste groups in Asia are all victims of today's racial discrimination.
