What underlying societal factors contribute to the unequal access to resources and opportunities experienced by minority groups?

Unequal access to resources and opportunities for minority groups often stems from a mix of historical, economic, and social factors. Historically, many minority communities have faced discrimination, which has limited their access to education, jobs, and housing. This discrimination can create a cycle of poverty, where lack of resources makes it harder for these groups to improve their situation. For example, if a minority group has less access to quality schools, they may struggle to get good jobs later, which keeps the cycle going. Additionally, social factors like stereotypes and biases can further isolate these communities, making it even harder for them to break free from these barriers.
