Racism and Immigration

Paper Summary:

Subconscious racism is the more contagious form of prejudice that affects people's ways of thinking without their conscious knowledge. It is the lifeblood of all other forms of racism in American society. This paper examines how this form of racism is linked to the way new immigrants to the U.S. both experience and contribute to racism, prejudice, and general feelings of xenophobia in American society.

From the Paper:

"If the nation is comprised largely of immigrants, then it is logical to conclude that these immigrants would be both contributors to and victims of our national racism problem. Immigrants may embrace the racist and oppressive attitudes of their new American home because they are fearful and disoriented in their new surroundings, because they are attempting to fully assimilate into American society, and because they have brought these prejudices from their native country."
