The United States is considered by many sociologists to be a racialized society. While most people bristle at being called racist, and are quick to point out that an African American man has been elected president twice, just beneath the surface, race can a dividing factor within our society. While race and ethnicity issues can boil down to simply being the tribal nature of our species, in the United States the racial divide is more marked than in other societies. This may be a result of our history of slavery, and Native American conflicts early in the country's history, which caused a basic distrust of others based on racial type. The attitude manifested not just with African and Native Americans, but with immigrants of Asian and Jewish ethnicity as well.

∙ 14y agoEthnicity truly isn't important. The only reason it is important now is because people haven't grown up enough to learn that race doesn't determine anything about a person except the origin of their ancestors and looks, and sometimes not even looks. It is still brought up in pop culture because people are still racist, so there needs to be ways to combat this.
