Asian American Equality in America
Though the average Caucasian American may believe that inequality among races is a thing of the past, the Asian American community believes differently. Asian Americans still feel stereotyped and like victims of racism. They don't like the generalization "Asian American" offers, as they are all from different backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, & religions. Some, such as Chinese & Vietnamese are traditional enemies. Our government does recognize this inequality as an issue, which is why the President renewed the Executive Order on Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders.

This type of encouragement & discussions boards allows real issues to be given a face and to be talked about and hopefully resolved. Discrimination is not giving one the opportunity to be judged on their own actions. Though we are mostly different and unequal when it comes to physical & material things, we have a common ground.
