    Prejudice Discrimination and Assimilation in the United States
    Racial and ethnic groups have faced various challenges throughout their history in the United States. Many have had to deal with hardships and persecution and contend with prevalent sentiments of distrust and disapproval. Others have been able to gain quick success in climbing the economic and political ladder (Pew Research Center 2016b). They have all had to make significant adjustments in order to secure health access work housing and political rights and to come to terms with dominant cultural practices and expectations within the community. Understanding the journey of the multiple racial and ethnic groups in the United States helps shed light on the issues and vulnerabilities they face and provides greater comprehension of the complex movement of the United States as a nation of immigrants.
    In this weeks Discussion you will focus on one of the following groups regarding their historical experience with prejudice discrimination and assimilation within the United States:
    Native Americans African Americans Hispanic Americans Asian Americans White ethnic Americans Jewish Americans Arab Americans
