Racial Discrimination to Native Americans Today

The Racial Discrimination in the United States seemed endless. After finding a photographic article about the Alcatraz Island in 1969. There is another article illustrating the racial discrimination to Native American athletes in Arizona today. Arizona has the largest indigenous population in the United States. However, their reserved land were often invaded by the government by turning them into internment camps in World War II or selling them to the mining companies. Today, the Native American volleyball players were harassed by the audience and were called "savages." It is hard to believe that the United States still cannot achieve some kind of mosaic, where racial discrimination remains to the people who are not "white."
