|
Today most people think that racial prejudice does not affect them. Most people believe that they are very accepting of other cultures and give everyone a chance. However it is surprising how subtle yet prevalent the effects of racial prejudice are on modern society. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, racial prejudice was rife against black people. The most well known incidences are against African people who were first brought to America as slaves. Because they were slaves they were treated with much contempt and continually discriminated against, suffering the most inhumane atrocities. Not only did African people suffer such prejudices but also the Aborigines people when the English came to Australia. They were treated with much the same contempt and also suffered they loss of there home being taken away from them, just because they were not the same nationality as the English people. Much prejudice was also shown to the Chinese people during the gold rush in Australia also. They were excluded from social activities, were not lowed to be employed and were given minimal privileges within the gold mines. These people were also the victims of racial prejudice.
