Arab and African-American Racial Issues

Paper Summary:

This paper compares and contrasts the racial problems that African-Americans and Arab-Americans face coming into the new millennium. The paper explains that, while the challenges faced by most African- Americans are primarily economic and social, Arab-Americans face a different challenge, which threatens their fundamental freedoms.

From the Paper:

"The flip side of the melting pot is the unfortunate tensions and complications that inevitably arise from putting so many people together in one place and refusing to name a "master race" as the Nazis infamously attempted to do in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. Of course, different groups are impacted differently, but in America's history, for the most part, it has been each individual ethnic minority's clash with the white majority over myriad issues. Of course, by the middle of the millennium, whites in America will actually be the minority, so it will be quite interesting to see if these trends change."
