Diversity in the United States
Information about diversity in the United States from my perspective
Actually it is more personal experience, rather than information that has helped me to better understand and relate to others in ways that I may not have in the past. There is one incident that changed my life forever concerning diversity in America. My best friend is African-American. I am White, a mut really. We were enjoying our kids, just we two with our children at a small park. A big truck drove up and parked. There were four big bald white-supremacists watching us – two in front, two in back. They were not eating, they
Like America embraces diversity, it embraces other people 's beliefs.

It is like America is the role-model for diversity for all of the other countries. From the first day of school on, we are taught that everyone is equal. So the point is driven home and by the time a child grows into adulthood, this American not only accepts, but also expects diversity at every level. The system is not perfect, and nothing will ever be perfect as long as there are flawed individuals around, and most people are flawed. So in this instance, the law demands equality, but falls short often. But the target is right.
Have you learned something new about your own racial, ethnic, or cultural history? I have learned that my ancestors were pioneers in America who came from all around the world. I think that it is important to preserve one 's culture, but at the same time, others must work together in America in order for this country to remain free.
What challenges does the U.S. face because of their
People bring with them very different experiences. When a country like the U.S. embraces equality for all individuals, they are open to be more educated on other individuals ' traditions, religions, etc. The byproduct of acceptance is peace. Most infighting in countries comes from misunderstanding the other 's side. In America, there are no sides. We are all on the same team. It also makes America stronger than countries that are fighting all of the time. For example, America has only been around for two hundred and fifty years or so, yet it is the richest and most advanced country in the world. Other countries that have been around for 6 thousand years or more, still to this day do not have indoor plumbing down. This is a direct result of intolerance. Diversity brings with it better ideas, which translates into a better standard of living. It is kind of like the old saying, “two heads are better than one.”
How can we foster a climate of acceptance and cultural pluralism in the United States? The best way to foster a climate of acceptance is to live it, and model the behavior for others. Also, if someone is aware of an inequity, it should be noted and dealt with. American 's have a duty, I believe to preserve America 's founding principles, and of course diversity in this great land of the free. Many have died to protect it. So it would help to improve race relations if others speak up and speak out
