Describe the impact of being an ethnic/racial minority in the United States and what impact that has on those individuals when compared with White Americans.

The impact of being an ethnic or racial minority in US and its impact when compared to White Americans individuals is as follows:

1. Security - The most serious impact with the racial and ethnic minority in US is in terms of security and we have time and again see the killings that occur due to hate and the minorities being persecuted by the White Americans due to hate crimes and this seriously affects the safety and security of the minorities and their lives are at stake and this negatively affects them in terms of mentality and creates an environment of fear and panic to live in the country which in turn affects the human rights and country's reputation of law and justice

2. Employment opportunities - The minorities such as American Asian and African Americans have a hard working and education in higher numbers which improves their employment opportunities. This translates into good jobs which leads to their position raising and when it compares to the majority White Americans, although have higher numbers but minority success is targeted and highlighted in a negative way as jobs taken from White Americans which polarizes the community and society of the country which translates into less job opportunities

3. Freedom of religion - White Americans often seen to have an intolerant attitudes towards other ethnic minorities and religions and it impacts their religion and freedom to practice their faith. This leads to fundamental clashes and hared towards the other religion and has negative impact on their respect and cultural acceptance.

4. Societal discrimination - The American society is dominantly white and this white dominated society often leads to discrimination towards the minority of the society in terms of local and social representation which affects their voices from reaching to the top leaders and their grievances remaining unheard and this reflects as ignorance from the government and leads to anguish and internal struggle in the society and discrimination affects their morale and social harmony too

5. Quality of life - The level of respect, equal treatment, adequate representation and equal opportunity largely contributes towards the quality of life of the minorities. When the White Americans population denies or discriminates their the quality of life is affected and incidences such as hate crimes affects the quality of life drastically which affects the progress of society. So being an minority the upliftment is clearly linked to their quality of life an overall transformation of the society as a whole while ending the conflict.
