Top 10 Most Discriminated Groups

Discrimination is a reality that shapes the lives of millions of people, often in ways that go unnoticed by those who aren't affected. Some groups face bias in employment, housing, healthcare, and education. Others deal with harmful stereotypes, legal barriers, or even outright violence. These experiences vary widely, but they all come down to the same issue: being treated unfairly based on who you are rather than what you do.

This list brings together different groups that have faced and continue to face serious discrimination. Some have been targeted for centuries, while others struggle against biases that have gained traction more recently. The severity of discrimination can depend on location, culture, and circumstances, but the problem itself is widespread.

Here, you can vote for the groups you believe experience the most discrimination.

The Top Ten

Black people

Reparations for the Jim Crow laws and apartheid, but not slavery. All the victims of slavery are now dead, so you can't pay reparations to them, but the victims of segregation are still alive and can receive reparations.

The most discriminated group. They were discriminated against due to their color. They believe black symbolizes evil. The most notable case of this is apartheid. This was the separation between Africans and Whites in South Africa. Whites could only vote and become leaders. Blacks had no rights to vote or be leaders. Fortunately, Nelson Mandela ended this.
I hope the discrimination against Blacks will end, especially the killing of George Floyd.
Transgender people

Trans people attempt suicide at a rate of 40% prior to transition. There is a direct correlation between social acceptance and successful transition, leading to a reduction in this rate. Currently, trans people are having their rights stripped away in healthcare and civil rights protections. The chances of being murdered as a trans woman of color are over 1 in 10.
Trans people often endure bullying, physical and mental abuse, and homelessness as teens. As adults, transphobia, sexism, racism, and homophobia can combine to create barriers to housing, healthcare, education, and employment. Trans people represent all races, religions, genders, and ages. People are born trans. They do not choose it. Who would choose to be treated this way?
Homosexuals

This should not be number six. Asians are seen as smart people, while those who are gay are treated like they have a brain defect. People kill themselves or get killed for being gay. Those who aren't even gay are afraid to show affection towards male friends because of society's actions towards homosexuals.
It's disgusting. People say, "You aren't gay unless you've done stuff with another guy." Um, no? It's not all about sexual intentions. If they feel love for another man in their heart, they're gay. They don't need to prove it to you.

Homosexuals dealt with self-hatred, the burden of coming out, self-acceptance, and gathering courage to express themselves and tell their families. Many of them are still not accepted.
Homosexuality is illegal in 70 countries. Their rights as humans are infringed on every day, and they face endless discrimination. Many are beaten simply for being born the way they are. Definitely number one.
Mentally ill people

There are so many people in this country with mental illnesses who are persecuted by asinine, intolerant people, and no one cares! The schools and the government don't care because they're insensitive bastards!
People with a physical disability

Uneducated people really make life hard for people with disabilities. They refuse to give us access to necessary equipment for us to live like regular people or to just flat out live. It's also still legal to pay us under a dollar an hour in some places (including the US).
People with a mental disability
Women

Countries such as India and Saudi Arabia face this problem. In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive and must wear any clothes besides an abaya. In India, there is female infanticide. Females aren't allowed to have education, and only men are. These scenarios are making struggles for women. I wish it would stop.

In the Middle East, women have to cover themselves head to toe and aren't allowed to drive, be unaccompanied by a man, or speak when not addressed. That's real sexism. Not the "Wage Gap" that is quite misleading.
Autistic people

Autistic people suffer discrimination in almost all areas. They have the highest unemployment rate of any demographic in OECD countries. Yes, that's right! It can range between 30% and 60% depending on the nation.
The autistic suicide rate is nine times higher than national statistics, and they have a life expectancy of roughly 54 years (40 if they also have an intellectual disability). Autistic people are more likely to suffer from domestic violence and are more likely to be murdered and abused than other people.
The only area they don't seem to have problems with is prison and the police. But I'm sure BIPOC autistics would have that on top of everything.
Men

Just because misogyny is common doesn't mean misandry isn't. Again, can't we all just get along?

Equal gender rights should mean equal gender sentencing too?

Should be number one. It feels like it's illegal to be a straight white man in this modern age.
Asian people

Asians are indeed discriminated against, especially according to university acceptance rates. Blacks and whites can get into universities with much lower academic achievements than Asians, just as somebody said here. It simply requires more effort for Asians to get into the exact same university.
In fact, there's this Indian person who was rejected by all the medical schools he applied for. Then he applied again, pretending that he is Black, and this time he got accepted, even though everything about him, except for his race, remained the same. He got accepted simply because the school thought that he is Black.

As an android this is racist. I support the superior android race.

The Contenders

Hispanic people

Hispanics are usually the first group people refer to when there is any mention of drugs. As a Colombian myself, our neighboring countries and we are often the main victims of such stereotypes. Being considered someone who uses drugs, sells drugs, or drugs others - especially when you have nothing to do with such heinous activities - isn't exactly motivational.

Especially the Hispanics on the lighter side of the skin tone scale. Speaking as someone who is on that scale, I get told, "You're not Hispanic enough," or "There's no way, you're just making that up," but then they see my dad and are like, "Oh..." I can trace it back to my great grandfather, so it's not like it's a two percent amount. White Hispanics exist, too. Come on.
Elderly people
Atheists

Not allowed public office in 9 states.
Muslims

As a Muslim myself, I have faced much discrimination and many threats. People make jokes about us, thinking we don't have feelings, calling us terrorists and bombers, etc. It's like you can't pass a day without a terrorist or discriminatory joke. More people need to be aware of this because a lot of people just let it slide by like it's nothing, but no. We Muslims are also humans. We have feelings too. All I feel is that we need to be seen more.

They are being discriminated against greatly. I know because I am a Muslim. It is not fair. When there is any kind of bombing, they say that if the person is Christian, they have a brain issue. When the person is a Muslim, they say it's a terrorist attack.
Arabs
Christians

The liberal Western world is growing to hate Christian values, and much of the rest of the world strives to kill them. So maybe they are being discriminated against?

True. Many people think all Christians are homophobic bigots who force people into their religion. As a Christian, I will have to disagree.

This should be #1. Lots of countries don't have the "Freedom of Religion" amendment like we do in the US, so many countries will put you in jail or kill you if you are a Christian. Sad reality, but luckily those non-Christians will pay the price one day!
LGBT community

The LGBT community is constantly being ridiculed and discriminated against. We can still be legally killed in 9 countries. We're illegal in 72.
Native Americans

Natives were literally purged. Ninety-five percent were killed after colonization, and thousands of years of culture were lost. Today, they are statistically more discriminated against than even Black people. They've contributed so much to the world and suffered for it (corn, beans, chocolate, vanilla, etc). This goes for natives everywhere in the Americas.

At least in the U.S., this should be above Black people. These are people who lived in America all their lives along with their ancestors and were enslaved, evicted, and killed in cold blood. To this day, their culture has no respect, they live in secluded ghettos, and the government ignores them.
Overweight people

Most people say Pacific Islanders are the fat people in the world and that is why we shouldn't eat what they eat. They will eat your food, so don't go near them.

People assume they are slobs and get mad at them when they take up too much space.
White people

Now that I think about it, they do seem to be more discriminated against, at least more than they were. White people aren't allowed to be proud of their race (though Black people and really anyone else are) without being called a Nazi. Primarily white nations are expected to harbor tons of immigrants, which they have been doing to such an extent that it's become a crisis in Europe. It's all about "Black Lives Matter," not "White Lives Matter," because white lives don't matter.

To be honest, it does seem like they're being discriminated against more and more. White people aren't allowed to be proud of their race, unlike people of any other race. You can be proud of being Black, but God forbid you feel the same about being white.
Also, it's perfectly okay to be racist toward white people, calling them "colonizers"! I just came back from watching Black Panther, by the way.
Catholics

I have been told by friends that my Bible was bad and that Catholics were evil. I remember others whispering, "He's Catholic." I'm not joking at all.
People considered unattractive

It's horrible that in Asia (China, Japan, Korea), you need to be good looking because if not, it will be really difficult to find a good job. The surgery is really expensive, forcing men to also wear makeup or undergo some facial surgery. In Mexico, it's hard to enter some places if you are not good looking. Finding a job is easier than in Asia, but it still influences a lot.

Pretty people get job promotions, help when they need it without asking, everyone wants to be their friend, and have a better choice of partners.
Jewish people

You'd never know this from listening to the "social justice movement," but religious hate crimes are highest among Jews - 4.5 times that of Muslims. Jews were indigenous to Israel since 937 BC, were deported to Babylon by Assyrians, and upon their return in 1948 (after enduring ethnic cleansing), violence and riots broke out for them simply immigrating there, which made Arabs and Palestinians angry.
Before Israel was even established, they were "welcomed" with violence. Never hear anyone talk about it. Left or right, they both hate Jews.

It's been going on for 2,500 years and it doesn't seem to be any better, with all the persecution in France and Germany right now.
Left-handed people

This is so overlooked. I really had hard struggles learning certain tasks because no one knew how to teach it to me the left-handed way. Even though for many things there are simple tricks.
I was frowned upon for always having smears of ink on my hand.
During PE at school I was always fighting for the left-handed softball gloves or even put separately with javelin because that was supposedly better.
Or 'that lefty again that is always knocking her elbow against mine'.

From tools to corporal punishment, using your left hand is highly discouraged and people who are left-handed are widely discriminated against. It has always been overlooked.
Bronies

A brony is an adult male fan of the Hasbro animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The fandom gained enormous popularity during the 2010s.
Bronies often participate in conventions, create fan art and stories, and form online communities. The term is a combination of bro and pony.
