美国是一个移民国家,组成这个国家的人要么是移民,要么是移民的后裔。移民们大多怀着对美国梦的笃信漂洋过海来到美国,希望通过勤奋工作实现梦想。然而,残酷的现实让不少人的美国梦破灭了,尤其是对于以黑人为代表的少数族裔而言,要在白人占主导地位的美国社会有一席之地谈何容易。 The United States is an immigrant country. The people who make up this country are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Most of the immigrants came to the United States with the devout faith in the American dream, hoping to realize their dreams through hard work. However, the brutal reality has shattered the American dream of many people. Especially for ethnic minorities represented by blacks, it is easier to establish a position in the predominantly white American society.
