Native " "
Japanese " "
women

and please tell me why you think that way.

Answer 1

African-AMeircans through institutional means, but Native-Americans in actual affects.

Natives were never slaves in the United States, nor were actively discriminated against (ie: no Native water fountains). HOWEVER, more Natives died, and an entire way of life was pretty much destroyed. Natives did undergo intenste cultracide (cultural genocide), that Africans can't really compare to.

African-Americans usually make much less per capita than whites or Native-Americans, and are usually actively discriminated against more. HOWEVER, less African-Americans actually died from "white" intervention and diseases. However, unlike Natives, they were consistently at the bottom of the barrel in terms of opportunity and social mobility in many states.

Answer 2

I would have to say native americans because i am half. They have been discriminated on since the first explorers arrived in North America then African Americans Then Hispanics Then Women and finaly Jews but in the early 1900's the irish were so low on the totem pole that they couldnt pay to work and after the mafia in the 20's Italians were heavily discriminated on so i think that every race has been discriminated against

Answer 3

Native Americans. This land was taken over by foreigners who killed them, raped them, and enslaved them. In American History, the one they actually wrote out. They say African Americans were the most discriminated against because of slavery and lyncing. But out of A.A, M.A., J.A., only the Natives were forced off their own land. Women were always treated with respect by native tribes and gentleman. As of right now the only mentioned group not making a big come back is the native american. This is partly because their own laziness. We be back now.

Answer 4

maximum non WASP's that have succeeded have been waiting to assimilate ban mutually and attain great fulfillment by helping one yet another protecting directly to their lifestyle mutually as mixing in or merging understanding their time will come and it has. Blacks can no longer cover so their job is harder yet no longer insurmountable the subject as I see it extremely is they embody their distinction and don't sell fulfillment in our surroundings which they are in. confident a predominantly white lifestyle that insists on formalities which comprise prevalent dialect training and in keeping with hazard a compromise to that that's common to them. From what I understand and now with affirmative action they look protecting themselves back so till there's a shift in the questioning interior of their very own lineage replace would be sluggish even in spite of the shown fact that it is coming

Answer 5

Native Americans. But second, it would be women. All over the world women have been and still are discriminated against.

Answer 6

I would have to say women. Historically, women have been treated basically as property of their families and then ultimately their husbands. In modern times, many women still fall victim to violence and abuse, however, because there are so many women now that are independent and successful, there is an example. Women were not allowed to do many things that men were, and were used basically to have a family and maintain the household. Now there are so many women that are doing it on their own, women can't be denied as meaningful contributors to society.

Answer 7

I don't think that engaging in race wars is at all appropriate. Many people of color and other cultures have suffered trauma from oppression. Oppression still exists today. Instead of trying to argue who has it worse we need to work together and be each others allies. We need to promote cultural education!

Answer 8

I completely agree that the most discrimination is directed at whites. The woman above who said we deserved it is an excellent example. How could we possibly deserve racism because of actions our ANCESTORS commited? I have never done anything to promote discrimination. my fiance is BLACK. yet everyday I hear more about how Im automatically trying to keep every other race down, just because Im white.

Answer 9

American Indians. They have been descriminated against since the first Spaniard set foot in North America.

Answer 10

all races has been discriminated one way or the other.
