For the first time the Justice Department has released an extensive study focusing on American Indians. According to the article, about 60% of violent crimes that have occurred against American Indians have been committed by Whites. American Indians after all this time still fall victim to prejudice and discrimination.

I agree with this statement. Why hasn’t more been done to help the American Indians? I think that this population has often been forgotten about. When I think of racism, I think of it as effecting African Americans or Asian Americans. Society needs to expand their knowledge about what is occurring amongst all minority groups.
