 Introduction
Racial diversity is an integral part especially during the age of globalization. The difference that can
be found across culture, language, ethnicity and colour of skin is essentially an important and
special thing that human kind is bestowed with.
 What is racism? In what ways does racism affect diversity?
Racism is the prejudice and discrimination done by one group of people to another with the belief
that their race is superior than the other. It is the hatred shown for one particular race to the other
and this phenomena has occurred throughout the history of humankind.
Racism has always been the prime reason for its negative effect on the cultural diversity (King &
Chandler, 2016). The racial supremacy leads to discriminatory attitude towards other race and this
results to the disrespecting of other cultural aspects. It harms the communal harmony of a
workplace or in a crosscultural setting (King & Chandler, 2016). Moreover, it decreases the morale
of people and even lead to a disruptive state of violence and social disorder. Eventually, it hampers
an atmosphere of peace and create barriers between human beings.
 Throughout most of U.S. history, in most locations, what race has been in the majority? What is
the common ancestral background of most members of this group?
Throughout the US history, the White Americans have always been the racial majority, wheras the
African American are the largest racial minority (Slopen et al., 2016). The ancestral background of
the White Americans are said to be of the European origin. They are also said to belong either
from the Middle East or North Africa (Slopen et al., 2016). They are also said to be of the
Caucasean race which is synomyous with white. The racial supremacy of this group is tremendous
(King & Chandler, 2016).
 What are some of the larger racial minorities in U.S. history? Identify the common ancestral
backgrounds of each of these groups. When did each become a significant or notable minority group
in the U.S.?
