Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Racial Triangulation. At this period of racialism, White Americans were favored over all other racial groups in America. A Black person would be considered more as a native than an Asian American. Although Asian Americans have lived in America for more than three generations, they are still assumed to be foreigners. They speak English like the Black and White Americans, by they were still outsiders.

According to Kim (1999), Asian Americans have been racially triangulated in relation to Blacks and Whites. This means that they have been located in racial locations with reference to Blacks and Americans. This occurs in two major ways. First, relative valorization occurs when Whites valorize Asian Americans in relation to Black Americans on a racial basis as a way of dominating both groups, especially Black Americans. Secondly, racial triangulation can be viewed as a way of civic exclusion whereby White Americans assume Asian Americans to be inassimilable foreigners racially and culturally in order to exclude them from political and civic society. These two factors of valorization and exclusion are analytically and functionally related.

The concept of racial triangulation was clearly indicated by the need for labor and the dominance of white Americans. As the dominant group, White Americans noted that placing Asian immigrants as superior to Black immigrants but inassimilable and permanently foreign. This enabled the Whites to use Black Americans for their economic benefit without including any of the two groups in the polity. Although the Whites did not want Asian Americans in America, they accepted them as foreigners because they needed their services.

Aoki and Takeda (2008) define racial triangulation using a political perspective, arguing that insiders (White Americans) and outsiders (Non-white) were distinguished by political systems. According to Aoki and Takeda, like Claire Kim, the whites have historically been considered as insiders while the nonwhites have been considered as outsiders politically. Historically, it was also common in the United States that to be positioned as an outsider or a non-white makes one become politically, socially, and economically disadvantaged. Triangulation can therefore be considered as a mechanism used by the dominant Whites to create an advantage for themselves economically, politically, and socially.
