Asian Americans

In society there are different social groups that represent all the different people in the world. The group I’m writing about are Asian Americans. This group has faced being discriminated against because people were afraid of them. I am going to tell about how this group thrives in society.

One event that a specific group of Asian Americans have faced was being discriminated. People were scared of Japanese Americans after the Pearl Harbor bombing. Roosevelt commanded the relocation of Americans of Japanese descent even if they were American citizens. Asian Americans might consider themselves as American citizens. Thankfully I haven’t shared anything from this specific experience.

Asian Americans have been stereotyped by different things. One that I’ve heard is that all of them come from the same country. Asian Americans come from different parts of Asia with different and amazing cultures.

Asian Americans might face being discriminated or being stereotyped by the standards we hold up to them. We can understand this better by putting ourselves in their shoes and understanding their perspective. They’re always getting stereotyped for their appearances or how people think their personalities are like. Stereotypes might make some people feel insecure about themselves and they might try to change that aspect of themselves.
