From Black and White to Multicolor

My family came from South India around 25 years ago. My dad got the visa because of my uncle who was already a U.S. citizen. My mom got hers with her brother. They told me when they first came to the United States, since the Indian currency is valued so less, it was hard for them to make a living here. True to Binders, they settled in Queens where many Indians decide to live when they first immigrate. My parents told me when they arrived they were shocked at how diverse America was compared to India. There were many races they saw, especially their “neighbors,” the Chinese. They first got a taste of different cuisines in America because of the different cultures it represents.

The immigration was transformed from the previous immigration wave because there was more diversity during the 1960 wave. Many from the Asian continent participated during this wave as well as the Hispanics from the Eastern Hemisphere. Many white left the area causing there to be a complete mix and “equality” among the races. It goes without saying that blacks were still treated worse than others even though they settled in America for a long time.
