Racial Discrimination between Whites and Asians


In the world, there is much racial discrimination. One of the major one is whites against Asians. In America, Asian Americans are treated differently. There are numerous comments and reports in the internet that give accounts of this treatment. A report on Bloomberg states that some major schools like Harvard are making it harder for Asians to admission, compared to whites.
Actually the Asians (Chinese) were not brought to America until there was a need (by the Whites) for the Asians to help build the railroad. The Asians were given the dangerous tasks like blowing up the hole in the mountains to make the railroad. Still, they were not treated well and received lower wages (compares to whites).
I think if racial discrimination still exists, even if it is not shown, there cannot be world peace. If Whites are discriminating Asians, there will always be conflicts, fights, and bullying in schools, the public transport, and in many other places.
This issue slightly changed my perspective on Americans (especially the racist ones). I knew there was racism everywhere, but I did not think that it is like this. I wanted to go to the US for my studies, but now I should choose a good community with minimal racism. That way, I can study and live in peace. The world will always be a better place without any racial discrimination. Then the nations will unite, settle their differences, and live in peace.
