Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction

The racial hierarchy is associated with social stratification. Through this system, individuals are distinguished based on their race. The racial hierarchy is present in the USA for a very long period. In this hierarchy, white Americans are at higher levels, and then come immigrants such as Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, etc.

Social assimilation is another important process through which the individual who belongs to a different culture is then absorbed into another culture practiced by the majority of people of that region.
