These are the SDoH which include social and economic status, employment and income, housing, education, life opportunities, race and racism, gender, access to services, behaviours, nutrition and lifestyle (Marmott, 2005, p.1102). Calma (2007) identifies the SDoH for Indigenous Australians as a reflection of historical factors of treatment and dispossession. These are associated with poverty and inequality in the Indigenous Australian population. Further noting 'human rights principles and social determinants of health are fundamentally connected'. Consistent oppression and disconnection from family, community and country as a result of dispossession and the 'Stolen Generations' for example has resulted in fear, anger and a breakdown of culture and normal social patterns.
During the colonial periods, colonies, such as America, “structured hierarchical societies in which Europeans stood at the top and the conquered and enslaved peoples had various positions below”. The white Europeans, especially the Anglo-Saxons realized “that status could be reflected in the physical differences, especially color, of these various groups” . In America, the minority groups started questioning the racial ranking of classes due to the unfairness and inequality. Various conflicts rose up between the different racial groups and within the same race but of different classes. These conflicts affected numerous events throughout American

The minority members of the community are often totally left out or ignored in the provision of health care (Oppenheimer 1055). There is a significant level of inequality and favoritism in the health sector globally. Evidences indicate that ethnic and racial minorities in the community receive low quality health care as compared to the non-minority groups. This is evidenced by the statistics that indicate that the minority groups report the highest mortality and morbidity rates in the society, especially those that relate to chronic infections. A report on inequality in the provision of care by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that “racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare exist and, because they are associated with worse outcomes in many cases, are unacceptable” (Pasick 67).
In addition to the “historical legacy of low wages, personal and organizational and institutionalized racism,” blacks have been inherently faced with the difficulty to strive in terms of obtaining a decent education as well as better paid work, resulting in a “sedimentation” to the lowest economic class in America’s social structure (Oliver and Shapiro 1995: 202). Not many people realize however, that “the accumulation of wealth for some whites is ultimately tied to the poverty of wealth for most blacks” (Oliver and Shapiro 1995:202). Every time discrimination is used towards blacks
