According to “A conversation with Asian Americans on Race” many people suffered unfairness because of their skin color. They say that through our community we should recognize the privilege of our skin color, and that we should play a role in fighting against everything between how complacent, complacent, whether the system is between white supremacy and anti-blackness and systems that sustain the two. Also, I don’t know why the word “American” is distinguished as “Asian American,” “Latin American,” or “African American” before the word “American.” obviously it can be distinguished when talking about where their hometown is. However, if you live in the United States, you are all the same American. You’re not American just because you have different skin colors? That’s nonsense. Is it a society where only people with fair skin are recognized as American? In the documentary “Race: The Power of an Illusion” people say that people with the same skin color thought they would have the same gene, but rather because people with different skin colors thought they had similar genes, it had nothing to do with the genetic characteristics of ‘racial’ that we can visually identify. I think people should be judged by their inner qualities, not extroverted ones.

I agree with you how White Americans aren’t the only valid Americans, and how Americans come in all races. When people think of American they usually refer to a white American. Yet when they think of a person of color in America they automatically refer to their race or country of origin rather just calling them an American. They are also treated differently than white Americans because they are perceived to not be “true Americans” because they are people of color. No one should be treated differently because of their skin color and no one should be invalidated because they are not physically what a “true American” is because there is no one skin color that states whether you’re American or not.
America was legit built by immigrants, I don’t understand how someone could come to the conclusion that immigrants are ‘less American’ in any way. I think the diversity of Americans and that there are people coming from all different places is one of the best parts about this country.
