Answer 1

Ans.

To answer this question, I am taking Afsian American as minority group of US and will apply all these characteristics to them.

1. Unequal treatment - According to a study done by University of California, it was believed that about 40% of Asian American are paid less than the American nationals for the same amount of work and it is often thought that the americans are more intelligent and smart and thus they are paid more.

2. solidarity membership by birth - The Asian American are given this name of Asian American at the time of their birth which decided their membership in that community which is seen by everyone through their skin color, facial features etc and hence they have to face discrimination because of it.

3. marriage within the group - I have seen many cases where Asian american people come to Asian countries to find out brides and grooms for them because many of them do not marry the americans due to differences in culture, looks etc.

4. distinctive - They have to face racial discrimination and in many cases, they have to live in isolation because of that. It is recorded by FBI that most (about 60%) of the crimes aroused of anger are committed by blacks due to frustration with racial discrimination.

5. trait - the culture of asian american is different from that of americans. we have seen that asian americans mostly eat spices and plain flour items and thus are judged by their traits also sometimes.
