In a 2010 report, a network of more than 300 US-based [[Civil and political rights|civil rights]] and [[human rights]] organizations stated that "[[Discrimination in the United States|Discrimination]] permeates all aspects of life in the United States, and it extends to all [[Person of color|communities of color]]."<ref>{{Cite web|date=5 November 2010|title=Factbox: U.S. report to U.N.

Members of every major American ethnic and religious minority group have perceived discrimination in their dealings with members of other minority racial and religious groups. Philosopher [[Cornel West]] has argued that "racism is an integral element within the very fabric of American culture and society. It is embedded in the country's first collective definition, enunciated in its subsequent laws, and imbued in its dominant way of life."<ref>{{cite book |last1=West |first1=Cornel |title=Prophesy Deliverance!: An Afro-American Revolutionary Christianity |date=2002 |page=116}}</ref>

A 2019 survey by the [[Pew Research Center]] suggested that 76% of black and Asian respondents had experienced some form of discrimination, at least from time to time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2019/04/09/race-in-america-2019/|title=Views on Race in America 2019 (Section titled 'Majorities of blacks, Hispanics and Asians say they have experienced discrimination because of their race or ethnicity')|date=9 April 2019|website=Pew Research Center's Social & Demographic Trends Project|language=en-US|access-date=13 December 2019}}</ref> Studies which have been conducted by the [[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America|''PNAS'']] and [[Nature (journal)|''Nature'']] have found that during traffic stops, officers spoke to black men in a less respectful tone than they spoke to white men and those same studies have also found that black drivers are more likely to be pulled over and searched by police than white drivers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amina Khan |date=16 July 2021 |title=Police officers treat Black and white men differently.
