The United States was founded on the concept of equality, with liberty and justice for all. Historically, however, for all has meant for all whites. Racial stereotypes against African-Americans, American Indians, Latinos, and Asian-Americans have been incredibly persistent, and as a result these groups have not enjoyed full equality in society. This book examines the origins of discrimination against each group and demonstrates how the underlying attitudes that sparked this hatred remain such a pervasive part of American culture.
