In America there existed a caste system that barred a sizable minority of their population from being able to prosper-- this was the staus quo until the 60's, and before that time where laws were made to grant a level of equity to disenfranchised people, like Native Americans and Black Folks, the structures favored white rule. Although those structures have been formally banned under law, a lot of the ghost of those repressive systems remain in the residual effects such as loans, poverty, education, defacto segregation of neighborhoods, policing, the prison system, and old societal systems that granted generational wealth and prosperity to whites and generational poverty to everyone else more or less remain and need to be addressed.
