Racism in the 1930's (America) - (Summarised)

Racism has been a major issue in America since the colonial era. The country has been govern by a settler society of religiously and ethnically diverse whites. Racial discrimination was hugely criminalized in the mid-20th century, and it became socially unacceptable or morally repugnant as well. The heaviest group that got hit was the Native Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Latin Americans. Major racially structured institutions include slavery, settlement, Indian reservations, segregation, residential schools (for American Indians), and internment camps. Racial stratification has occurred in employment, housing, education and government. But major inequalities still persist and racial politics still remain in a major phenomena.
