The research is to explore why racial discrimination still exists in contemporary American society. This phenomenon has been observed in its long history, but it remains unsolved in contemporary society. The research uses the case study method. Through the case study of the ethnic minority in America, the research hopes to reveal broader lessons of racial discrimination globally. As a result, this research has found several reasons from the perspectives of history, culture, and society. The research deepens our understanding of racial discrimination and racial inequality. Moreover, the research can be useful to the policymaking of governments to solve this problem.
