Throughout the late 19th century, employers used ethnic
minorities as strike breakers in labor strikes, during the first
part of the twentieth century. It greatly damaged the power of
unions to win strikes, and also led to deep resentments within the
white working class toward blacks and other minorities.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, in reaction to the civil-rights
movement, the Republican Party under Nixon embraced what became
known as the "Southern Strategy" in which racial concerns were
actively used to get white working-class voters to transfer
political allegiance from Democrats to Republicans.
Many analysts have credited this policy with ushering in an period of conservative politics that eventually greatly harmed white workers ' economic interests by dismantling unions, decreasing minimum wages, and reducing job security. Race differences within the working class hinder workers ' willingness as a whole to negotiate higher wages with their employers. In the long term, white workers would be better off economically if there were less discrimination and more unity between the black and white workforce.
Although racism in American society can damage significant segments of the racially dominant community, racism is, above all, a type of dominance that damages the racially oppressed groups. Such harms were a central part of American history, and not only a distant one.

This migration was complete by the end of the 19th century and Native Americans were mostly restricted to enclosed geographic spaces called Indian Reservations. Such reservations ' exact legal status has varied over time, but they have usually been given semi-sovereign status with at least some self-government privileges. Native Americans are no longer expected to be living on Indian Reservations in the 21st century. We are full American citizens now, and can travel around the country freely. Nonetheless, the lives of many indigenous Americans remain profoundly tainted by the legacy of the extreme forms of ethnic discrimination and geographical isolation to which they have traditionally been subjected
