The Chains of Race It can be argued that since the Europeans sailed the ocean and landed in America, the notions of inferiority and race have been prevalent. The Europeans had “discovered” America and in the same way “discovered” the Native Americans. The question became, how do the natives fit into the Europeans’ belief-system.
