This book examines the current state of systemic, institutional racism in the United States as compared to baseline data collected in 1969. Using recent findings in the fields of history, economics, education, political science, and public health, the work reveals how systemic racism in the US has and has not been addressed in the past five decades. The book is geared toward college undergraduates and secondary students in grades 10-12.
Perpetual foreigner stereotyping is a form of systemic racism used against Asian Americans. They have historically been stereotyped as foreigners in the United States no matter their duration of time living here or whether they were American-born. The perpetual foreigner stereotype is maintained by institutions such as Hollywood, private and public sectors, to elected public officials. Throughout U.S. history, Asian Americans have been scapegoated as the cause of the country’s various problems and catastrophes including economic despair, wars, terrorism, and coronavirus pandemic.
