Improving culture to end racism

Article Abstract:

Efforts should be directed toward cultural improvement combined with racial neutrality in public policies as a way to combat racism. US society has found that equal rights for individuals do not necessarily translate into equal results for groups. African Americans have experienced a cultural breakdown that makes them unable to compete on equal terms with other groups. The culture developed by African Americans in response to historical oppression has now become a deficit. Unfortunately, the cultural relativism that developed in response to earlier forms of racism has made it difficult to deal with the issue of cultural breakdown.

The author, focusing on the paucity of resistance to the overt racist hierarchy, argues the Indian community is partly responsible in that they ignore their Indianness and focus on their white ancestors to provide themselves with social legitimacy.
