Answer 1

Historically, racism and poverty have pushed marginalized groups to the side to meet the needs of wealthy White citizens. This has resulted in systemic barriers that have made it more difficult for marginalized groups in Texas to receive equal opportunities in education, employment, housing, and other areas. The legacy of racism and poverty continues to impact the lives of many Texans today, creating disparities that perpetuate inequality and hinder social mobility.
