Natavism impacted all and any Europeans. If you were not “WHITE” you weren’t meant to live in America. But mostly the Irish were impacted by treating them like dirt, like they were nothing basically. Americans absolutely hated the Irish people and because of that it was very hard for the Irish to find employment and was only aloud to live in certain areas. There were boarding schools that all Irish children would be sent to, they had to wear uniforms that represented America and also were mad to cut all their hair off to just below ear length. They weren’t allowed to keep practicing their culture, for instance instead of speaking their own native language they had to learn to speak and write English. They considered the Asian American to be very different and dirty due to their culture and only could get very few jobs. The jobs that the “whites” didn’t want such as maids and minors were the jobs available to the minorities. All minorities were called savages which in another words means abnormal and/or animals. I think the white man should have just given everyone a chance in living in America. Maybe we would all have one main culture to where there were no American, Chinese, Asian, etc. food and ways of living. Maybe we would all eat a little of everything and do a little of everyone’s ways.

The Formation of Race

When creating the divisions the main motivations were greed, fear and money. They quickly realized as the need for labor progressively increased that it would be quite hard to make a large amount of people to work and do things that they didn’t want to do. The white man became very greedy once the money came rolling in, but their problem was they had to have workers to do the jobs that needed to be done. A system was brought about that would affect the African Americans; they would no longer have any rights what so ever. And when this happened it made the white man’s head get real big, they realized they could do anything to the African Americans and get away with it because the blacks had no rights or say so. They began to brutally beat the African Americans and thought maybe that would keep them in line, and most times than others the beatings were in the view of the public for everyone to see. In the white man’s eye all people of another race but white was not human, they were more like either children or creatures. The white men never had any remorse of what they were doing and didn’t give a care about what the minorities thought or felt. When it came to the white man they became greedy with the Native Americans by overpowering them and forcing the Native Americans off/out of their homelands. They came up with the ridiculous laws that now made it illegal to teach, live with, or to fraternize and let alone recognize the races that were considered to be minorities.
