The population of the US is prominently white- today and has been historically as well.
Minority populations exceed white populations in the following states: California, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Texas.
More females than males
African Americans
African Americans have been the victims of consistent and deliberate unjust treatment for a longer time than any other minority group in the US
Most of the gains the nation has come from the African Americans
Native Americans
*Nearly a million Native Americans were alive in the 1600s
*By 1900 that number was 250000. It is 6 million today.
*American settlers brought diseases that hurt the Indian population.
*Poverty, joblessness, and alcoholism plague many reservations today.
Hispanic Americans
* have a Spanish speaking background
*can be any race
*divided into four main subgroups: Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cuban americans and central and south Americans.
Asian Americans
*Chinese laborers were the first Asians to come to America in large numbers in the 1850s and the 1860s- often faced violence because white workers were unhappy
*Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882- 80 yrs
* all Japanese were evacuated to the pacific coast. Even native born.
* Congress eventually decided that this was wrong

*Those who oppose Civil Rights often believe you can't change morality by passing a law: people wont think treat others differently just because the Federal Government says they should
*Dr. King: "Judicial decrees...may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless."
*1870's-1950's: no meaningful legislation passed in regard to civil rights
*The Civil Rights Acts of 1964: passed after the longest debate in Senate history(83 days). Made changes in the following:
1.) voting provisions
2.) public services could no longer deny access based of race, religion, national origin, physical disability, etc.
3.) Federal funding programs could not discriminate for those reasons.
4.) Employers and labor unions could not discriminate for those reasons
* Civil Rights act of 1968: aka- "Open Housing Act"- cannot refuse selling/rent living space to a person due to race, religion, national origin, physical disability, etc.
*Title IX: forbids discrimination on the basis of gender in any educational program or program regarding financial assistance. Equal funding and opportunities must be given to women athletics
Affirmative Action
* Requires employers take positive steps to fox the affects of past discrimination
* Employers must meet quotas for minority groups/genders
*Many argue this results in reverse discrimination: discrimination against the majority group:
* "Color Blind"
* California, Washington Michigan, and Nebraska voters passed measures to eliminate all affirmative action plans.
*The Bakke Case
* Allan Bakke sued the University of California because he was denied access to their medical school due to Affirmative Acton. ( 16/100 sears were reserved for minority students.)
*Bakke won the case
*Since then. the Court has made decisions regarding similar cases: quotas can be used when needed
* Justice Sandra day O'Connor predicts in 25 years. the use of racial preferences will no longer be neccesary.
