Why Are Race And Ethnicity Important To United States Society?

That is a good question as President Roosevelt when first elected in the 1930's told the American people that they were American's and not some Italian-American, Iris-American or whatever European or other ethnicity claim that was very prevalent back then. This help to bind the American culture as Americans. It was not until Blacks started the African-American, then it became Mexican-American, Latino-American or Spanish-American hyphenation that his trend reappeared. If we are Americans then we need to be Americans and not some dual-nationality just as President Roosevelt stated close to 100 years ago.

The president elect has said the same thing he will be the peoples  President and not one ethnic groups president and he had all ethnic groups voting for him and he knew it he was called names etc. But he acted like he did not hear it that should tell a lot of us something and as far as groups,the Gov started that if you applied for a job you had to list your race and they added you did not have to answer that particular question so I would disagree with the fact that the black race started the African, how many blacks do you know that own a company large enough to care about race,either they are going to hire you or not large companies had that particular question on job applications,so if you can do the job does it matter your color?
