Race legislation in the United States is defined as legislation seeking to direct relations between so-called "races" (a social construct) or ethnic groups. It has had several historical phases in the United States, developing from the European colonization of the Americas, the triangular slave trade, and the Indian Wars. The 1776 Declaration of Independence included the statement that "all men are created equal," which has ultimately inspired actions and legislation against slavery, and racial discrimination. It led to passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution.

The first period extends until the Civil War and the Reconstruction era, the second spans the nadir of American race relations period through the early 20th century; the last period begins with World War II and the following increased civil rights movement, leading to the repeal of racial segregation laws. Race legislation has been intertwined with immigration laws, which sometimes included specific provisions against particular nationalities or ethnicities.

Deep reflection !

When we went to London we saw, we smelled and we tasted a multicultural diversity! We think that diversity is really important to people be more concious and be capable of open their minds to the difference!

When we walked in the streets, we saw the mixture of races and the way that they interact!

But diversity don´t mean always a good thing, because some people don´t respect the different culture or they don´t respect the country hosting them, like gypsies . We aren´t racists but the truth is that they are maintained by state money that came from our pocket !

To have a harmonious Country every single people should respect the law and the other people. We respect the ones that came to have a better life, and we admire them for the capacity of change , althow they should show respect for us wich recieve them !

England- The country of diversity

The phrase 'Cultural Diversity' means a range of different societies or peoples with different origins, religions and traditions all living and interacting together. Britain has benefited from diversity throughout its long history and is currently one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world! London is now more diverse than any,city that has ever existed. Altogether, more than 300 languages are spoken by the people of London, and the city has at least 50 non-indigenous communities with populations of 10,000 or more. Virtually every race, nation, culture and religion in the world can claim at least a handful of Londoners. London’s Muslim population of 607,083 people is probably the most diverse anywhere in the world, besides Mecca. Only 59.8 per cent of Londoners consider themselves to be white British, while 3.2 per cent consider themselves to be of mixed race.Minority languages, religions and cultural practices were encouraged, and rights and freedoms were enshrined in legislation.
