Deep Roots: An Exploration of Asian-American History in the United States, Part III
Manage episode 304439666 series 2367837
The United States, like many other Western nations, has a history accented with great achievements that broke down barriers to the future. These same histories are also bloated with an array of human rights abuses that are lessons for the ages. Ranging from the egregious period of slavery and the Triangle Trade to the folly of modern relationships, one type of history that sticks out is that of Asian Americans.
This week we will explore the deep roots that Asian people have in this country as it relates to the significant events of severe mistreatment of these peoples. Today, we’ll take a look at modern forces of discrimination and racism that have impacted our Asian American citizens, specifically within the halls of academia as it relates to school acceptance rates and standards.
