Question

Describe in a few sentences how being a member of a minority or dominant racial/ethnic group has shaped your life experiences. Think about how race/ethnicity affects life chances in your answer. If you have not felt that race/ethnicity has affected your personally, try to think of an example that you have observed.

Answer 1

Being a minority comes with its baggage of visible and invisible discrimination and hardships.

Explanation:

Being a person from a racial minority in America comes with a baggage of discriminatory practices that may or may not be systematically aimed against a person.

It may have to do with the economic status too of the race.

For example, an Indian American is usually in the middle class sector and is a rich group in the country but they still face stereotypes and are not accepted as easily in society.

There are stereotypes that can haunt people's everyday lives.
