Native Americans are the most harshly affected by institutionalized racism. The World Watch Institute notes that 317 reservations are threatened by environmental hazards. While formal equality has been legally granted, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders remain among the most economically disadvantaged groups in the country, and suffer from high levels of alcoholism and suicide.
Native Americans have not been able to overcome their discrimination. They are still looked at as mascots, savages and exotic oddities.
I do not believe Native Americans will ever totally overcome their situation. Mainly because racism in the United States is institutional and pervasive. The majority does not feel they must acknowledge mistreatment of minorities.
