Answer 1

European and Euro-American ethnic mythologies have been used to justify racial discrimination, as seen in the historical mistreatment of African Americans, Native Americans, and other marginalized groups. These mythologies, such as ideas about racial superiority and inferiority, have been used to justify slavery, segregation, and other forms of discrimination.

Racial discrimination based on ethnic mythology did not become illegal when the U.S. became independent. It took many years of struggle and Civil Rights movements for laws to be enacted to protect individuals from such discrimination, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Discrimination based on ethnic mythologies has not been limited to Black Americans in the U.S. Various ethnic and racial groups have faced discrimination based on stereotypes or beliefs rooted in mythologies, including Asian Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and others.

It is incorrect to state that ethnic mythologies have led to improved race relations in the U.S. during the twentieth century. While progress has been made in terms of civil rights and racial equality, racial tensions and disparities still persist in society. Ethnic mythologies and stereotypes continue to be perpetuated, and their influence can hinder efforts towards true racial harmony.
