Not only was sit after September 11, 2001 did Americans take a group of people and single them all out for a crime against the general public but there were also a few other occurrences that tend to be forgotten. The first of these being the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese and as a result of that Japanese Americans were placed into containment camps where they could be watched after there having been a conspiracy of Japanese Americans having helped aide the Japanese with their attack. There was also the Native Americans that had similar issues with this because after American leaders such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would conduct raids on Native American villages killing everyone. The Native Americans fought back and eventually the natives were pushed into reservations and are still heavily restrained by the government and discriminated against as well. So throughout our entire history as a country white Americans have discriminated against others. Getting this centuries old mentality to fade away is going to take a lot of time to happen.
