Answer 1

Historically, racism and poverty have made it more difficult for marginalized groups in Texas to receive equal opportunities. These systemic issues have pushed marginalized groups to the side to meet the needs of wealthy white citizens, resulting in unequal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other resources. This has perpetuated cycles of poverty and limited opportunities for many Texans.
