The correct answer is social exclusion

Social Exclusion designates a process of removal and deprivation of certain individuals or social groups in different areas of the structure of society.

It is a condition inherent in contemporary capitalism, that is, this social problem was driven by the structure of this economic and political system.

Thus, people who have this social condition suffer from various prejudices. They are marginalized by society and prevented from freely exercising their rights as citizens.

Socially excluded people are usually ethnic, cultural and religious minorities. As examples, we have blacks, Indians, the elderly, the poor, homosexuals, drug addicts, unemployed people, people with disabilities, among others.

Note that these people or social groups suffer a lot of prejudice. This directly affects aspects of life, and in many cases creates another problem called "social isolation".

no one should discriminated against because he or she is not from a minority group
