[Perspective] American researcher reveals the truth of the "American Dream": only a scam!

Georgia Institute of Technology Newspaper "Technology" website

China Daily, September 7th (Party Super Peak) On the 6th, Nicia Jamesiali, a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, published an article on the school's "Technology" website to expose the truth of the "American Dream" - A scam.

The article states that most Americans believe that they work hard to enhance their social status, achieve their goals, and achieve success. After all, this is the promise of "American Dream"! In the United States, anyone can succeed. But are these promises true? Or is it that the United States has been defiled by the dark history of a minority ethnic group?

Compared with other Western countries, the United States ranks behind in terms of social liquidity, and social liquidity is a necessary condition for achieving the "American Dream". This is not "effort to achieve" so simple.

Jia Meisheli pointed out that the US system itself is suppressing ethnic minorities. Taking African -American as an example, when the "Declaration of Black Slave" was published, African -American had 0.5%of US wealth. By 1990, this ratio would become 1%, which means that African -American wealth has only increased by 0.5%in the past 100 years.

Jia Meisheli said that due to deep inequality and discrimination, the "American Dream" has always been the myth of ethnic minorities and other marginal groups. These factors are significant in all aspects of life, whether in the employment market, education, academic or criminal judicial system. The possibility of ethnic minorities is less likely to get opportunities and wealth than white. A theme that runs through history is that if your great -grandfather does not have wealth, then it is much more difficult to accumulate wealth. Periodic poverty has continued to lower the living standards of many low -income groups, and the government is almost helpless.

The article said that even if some ethnic minorities can achieve social liquidity, they will soon realize that this is accompanied by hidden costs. In the process of pursuing the power and comfort enjoyed by white people, the original culture, language and family social customs were diluted and wiped out. In addition, regardless of the social and economic status of whites, those ethnic minorities on the upper levels will never get the same respect for the outside world to travel with white people.

Jia Meisheli said that in a country with racial violence and racial hatred for a long time, the "American Dream" is only true for those who are not subject to the structural oppression of the United States. Even so, this is always a vague possibility that it is difficult to touch.

The "American Dream" proves the necessity of using the equality bill. Activity Act, also known as preferential differences, refers to a means of preventing minority or disadvantaged groups such as "skin tone, religion, gender or ethnic origin" discrimination, giving these groups preferential treatment to eliminate discrimination and achieve equality. In recent years, the Activity Act has caused controversy in American society. In fact, the majority of white people still dominate ethnic minorities and races.

Although some examples have proved that specific small groups can achieve economic achievements in the United States, they must emphasize that race cannot replace class. Although race is a common persecution method, the class plays an important role in the United States lacks social or economic liquidity.

At the end of the article, the "American Dream" is not only a myth, but also a metaphor: it metaphorically another lie, that is, the United States supports its own people and neighbors.
