Extended data

African-American history: The history of African-Americans can be traced back to16th century when the United States became a European colony. 16 to 19 centuries, European colonists transported a large number of black slaves from Africa to America, and more than half of them were transported to the United States today, mainly working as coolies in cotton and sugar cane plantations and mines in southern States, and were brutally exploited and abused by white racists.

With the development of American industry, blacks in the south moved to cities in the north and northwest. 186 1 ~ 1865 after the civil war, although slavery was abolished in law, blacks were still discriminated and oppressed by race, and the atrocities of the Klan seriously threatened their lives.

African-American status: African-Americans have never enjoyed the same treatment as whites in politics, education, employment and housing. According to the survey of 1970, 9.9% of American families are white, and 4 1.3% are black. The unemployment rate of blacks is generally three or four times higher than that of whites, and in some cities it is as high as six or seven times. On average, the wages of black workers are only one-half to one-third of those of whites. The death rate of blacks is higher than that of whites.

Now the United States gives blacks more education and social welfare. Asians must be 450 points higher than blacks (full score 1600 points) to be admitted. As a result, African Americans are three times more likely to be admitted to medical schools than Asians.
