All groups face some type of oppression. Which group do you feel is the most oppressed or receives the most unfair treatment?

I think Hispanics might be the most oppressed group in our country. Many Americans look down upon them because they are coming to our country, many illegally, and are using our tax money. Many people also look down on them because they do not speak our language. It always makes me mad when I hear people say if they want to live here they need to learn how to speak English, but at the same time, when we travel we expect everyone to speak English. They are also paid the least and are expected to do the work Americans do not want to do. A good example of this is from A Home on the Field when the people of Siler City didn't want the Hispanics living in their city, but they actually needed them to work at the chicken plants because the Americans didn't want to do that dirty work.
