Response to Emily Burke (3/9)

Q:Why do so many people only care about the issues of one oppressed group, instead of all of them?

Generally speaking when the topics of oppression come to mind, I tend to think about racism, sexism, and genderism. For example such as in the situation of sexism,many women in the workplace whether it is in business, law, or politics they are frequently not paid the same amount of money in regards to men that have the educational background. In the same situation such as racism we tend to think about one group of individuals in a population, such as the minority whether the are Chinese, African, or even of a Latino descent. But the reason why we only tend to analyze only one oppressed group can be questionable? First and foremost,it would be much easier to only care about the major issues for one oppressive group and also to concentrate on only one group such as the ones stated above (examples).
