Social Minorities and Intergroup Relations

The issue of social minorities and intergroup relations is a central theme in discussions of race in America. Social minorities, including racial and ethnic groups that experience marginalization and discrimination, are often subject to unfair treatment and prejudice in American society.

Intergroup relations refer to the ways in which different groups interact with each other, and these relations are often shaped by race and ethnicity. For example, historical and ongoing discrimination against African Americans has led to tensions and conflict between Black and White Americans.
