Answer 3

Unfortunately, most diverse populations, if not all populations still suffer some oppression from the government, legal system, social services, and other populations.  Social class and economic status determine who holds the money.  Although white, I have been oppressed in the last three years by age, education, lifestyle, beliefs, physical appearance, social class, and economic status....not a very good record!
