While many point to Asian-Americans and ultimately Japanese-Americans as examples of successful minorities in America, the fact remains that although they may be prosperous in terms of economic stability, compared to that of other minority groups, they are nowhere close to equality. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s played a major role in the transition of Japanese Americans views. Japanese and Chinese entrepreneurship as well as their high education rates were used as proof that colored…

I observed that these minority students are good candidates as exceptional learners because they might have English language difficulties or a stressful home life. Some considerations that might affect minority students are: “The children don’t try,” “They have no place to study,” “Their parents don’t care,” and “Their culture does not value education.” These are some reasons and excuses I used to explain why these minority students have an achievement gap that separates…

For example, if a family lives in the United States and one of them is from Mexico, the minority language would be Spanish because English is spoken in the community. Therefore, one of the parenting techniques for bilingual children is to only speak the minority language in the house. This leaves…

feeling of impending death. Yet even with these egregious conditions, minority soldiers dealt with far worse conditions than white, straight servicemen ever faced. Black soldiers experienced segregation and savage physical assault, while Japanese and gay soldiers often faced isolation and psychological harassment. Each minority serviceman had a unique experience in the military because of their race or sexuality. Further, each minority serviceman endured their conditions for different reasons.…
