美国留学生论文Ethnic Groups and Discrimination民族歧视
出现在美国白人殖民者在大约五个世纪以前,他们并没有大陆的土著居民。不过,这是这个族群的逐步建立,完全控制了整个大陆,包括美国成为区域的领袖。事实上,无论是存在大量的当地居民和增长几乎所有移民,世界上的部分地区,欧洲人来到美国,并开始一个侵略性极强的殖民政策,导致了统治这个种族集团在美国,并且在很大程度上决定了美国白人的歧视的态度与其他民族在过去被认为是低。
然而,有必要强调美国白人的歧视的态度对其他民族的群体,被视为一个二等公民,主要是因为当地居民的无能,那就是。印第安人以及其他民族,来到了我们,包括非洲裔美国人、亚洲人、抵抗欧洲殖民。事实上,美国白人权力很容易把这个国家在他们手里,建立了他们自己的规则,法律,甚至伦理规范剥夺其他族群的代表,尤其是印度和非洲裔美国人、的平等权利和机会,更重要的是,在第一阶段的殖民化,被压迫民族仅仅用于白种美国人在他们自己的利益。这样一来,美国白人统治着国家,占领了特权地位在美国比其他族群。
当然,这样一个位置的美国白人导致贫富差距的重要代表不同的民族。在这方面,它是值得一提的代表支持政策的白色人种歧视,反对所有可能的手段,人权运动和其他民族斗争的平等权利和机会和改善他们的经济和社会地位对于特权的白人。另一方面,它是值得一提,这将会是个错误的估计完全代表白色人种相信种族歧视,或他们积极参加的其他民族的歧视。与之形成鲜明对比,有相当一部分人坚持了美国白人中的必要性,平等的权利,机会我们中所有的人,无论他们的种族有关。事实上,反对美国白人的这一部分的歧视性政策的白人精英,特别是在南方,是一个主要的原因在美国内战,首先针对解放奴隶和改进的非洲裔美国人的位置受欺压的民族。后来,在17世纪20th中,也有很多白人支持者的民权运动的非洲裔美国人、以及其他的民族。这一部分美国白人积极参加anti-segregation运动,积极行动,平等的权利和机会的人。
然而,不管对手的存在和殖民政策以美国白人,他们仍然在一个主导地位和玻璃天花板等问题仍然存在于美国。事实上,它可能估计美国的精英,包括政治上与经济仍是白色为主,而其他的民族获得高层职位依然相当棘手的。然而,有必要强调,这种情况下的结果是过去美国社会的发展从美国白人殖民统治了国家,因此他们把权力在美国和关键职位在政府和经济精英,而其他的民族必须争取更大的机会。
总之,应该说,即使在今天美国白人在一个更好的位置比其他美国社会,但现在它是由客观因素,如缺少经济方面的机会,为其他民族群体,但这些情况可能会disapears很大的提高作为种族歧视。

White settlers appeared in America in about five centuries ago and they were not the native population of the continent. Nevertheless, it is this ethnic group that gradually established total control over the entire continent, including the US which became the regional leader. In fact, regardless the presence of a large number of the local population and growing immigration from practically all parts of the world, Europeans arrived to America and started an extremely aggressive colonizing policy that led to the dominance of this racial group in the US and, to a significant extent, determined discriminatory attitude of white Americans in relation to other ethnic groups which used to be perceived as inferior.
However, it is necessary to underline that the discriminatory attitude of white Americans to other ethnic groups which were treated as a second-class citizens was mainly caused by the inability of the local population, i.e. Indians, and other ethnic groups that arrived to the US, including African Americans and Asians, to resist to European colonization. In fact, white Americans easily took the power in the country in their hands, established their own rules, laws, and even ethical norms depriving representatives of other ethnic groups, especially Indians and African Americans, of equal rights and opportunity and, what is more, at the first stages of colonization, the oppressed ethnic groups were simply used by white Americans in their own interests. In such a way, white Americans ruled the country and occupied the privileged position in the US compared to other ethnic groups.
Naturally, such a position of white Americans led to the significant inequality between representatives of different ethnic groups. In this respect, it is worthy of mention that representatives of white race supported the policy of discrimination and opposed by all possible means to Civil Rights movement and struggle of other ethnic groups for equal rights and opportunities and improvement of their economic and social position in regard to the privileged whites. On the other hand, it is worthy of mention that it would be a mistake to estimate that absolutely all representatives of white race were convinced racists or that they actively participated in the discrimination of other ethnic groups. In stark contrast, there was a considerable part of white Americans who insisted on the necessity of the existence of equal rights and opportunities for all people in the US, regardless their ethnic origin. In fact, the opposition of this part of white Americans to the discriminatory policy of white elite, especially in the South, was one of the major causes of the Civil War in the US, which above all targeted at the liberation of African American slaves and improvement of the position of oppressed ethnic groups. Later, in the 20th century, there were also a lot of white supporters of Civil Rights movements of African Americans and other ethnic groups. This part of white Americans took an active part in anti-segregation movement, affirmative action, and equal right and opportunities of all Americans.
Nevertheless, regardless the existence of the opposition to the discriminatory and colonizing policy of white Americans, they still in a dominant position and such problems as glass ceiling still exists in the US. In fact, it is possible to estimate that American elite, both political and economic, is still predominantly white, while the access of other ethnic groups to top positions is still quite problematic. However, it is necessary to underline that such a situation is the result of the past development of American society since white Americans colonized the country and therefore they took the power in the US and key positions in the government and economic elite, while other ethnic groups had to strive for larger opportunities.
In conclusion, it should be said that even nowadays white Americans are in a better position than the rest of America society, but nowadays it is determined by objective factors, such as the lack of economic opportunities for other ethnic groups, but the situation may be improved considerably as racial discrimination disapears.
