Because this is a race-centered issue that affects certain economic demographics more than others, racism, ethnocentrisms, and classism become an important part of the issue. According to Ken Barger, “ethnocentrism can be defined as: making false assumptions about others' ways based on our own limited experience” (2004). People assume that black families choose to live in poor neighborhoods because they are uneducated and lazy.

An example of this is diners
Sylvia Grega Baynton Essay It is shown in Baynton’s article titled, “Disability and the Justification of Inequality in American History” that many Americans believe disabilities to be a source of shame and embarrassment for the nation.
