Post # 2

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.
