Ethnic Stratification and Indentifiability
In sociology, one can be a target of discrimination just because he/she can be looking as if assocaieted with an ethnic population. Hence, this is why sometimes being dark skinned can be more a target. What we need to remember is that there are cultures that are very sensitive to such issues. Using words also that classifies a person as to their income or poverty classes in a society must be done cautiously. It has been found that sometimes such people who are targeted have the conditional resources on money, entrepreneurial know-how without having degrees, and even educational credentials that can mobilize a large sector in society. There are low income and disabled groups and or ethnic groups that have the ability to move into the mainstream and they can be simple unknown people. This is why it is very important to show more human compassion and desire to help than using the absolute reverse which can be perceived as discrimination.
