Disabilities
sexuality

refers to the treatment of individuals based on their sexual orientation by other individuals and public or private institutions. People whose sexual orientation places them in minority categories, such as lesbians, homosexuals, and bisexuals, have sought legal protection from this type of discrimination.
language
Language discrimination is basically a form of discrimination where people just listen to people who dont speak well and consider them to be incapable for a job , speech , etc...
employment
Gender

Gender discrimination, or sex discrimination, may be characterized as the unequal treatment of a person based solely on that person's sex. While females have historically laid claim to the cry of unequal treatment, modern civil rights laws banning sex discrimination have been construed to protect males as well, especially in the area of employment.
Religon

Religious discrimination involves the persecution or harrasement of a person because of his or her religious beliefs or practices. Throughout history, many people have been victims of religious discrimination. A primary reason that the Puritans and other groups left Europe and came to America was to escape religious persecution.

Influences
To my opinion there are four factors that influence discrimination which are historical, social, political and economical reasoning.
History- influences people because their ancestors lived through tough times where discrimination was the essence of living.
Social-influences people because from what one crowd of people think the others follow within the community.
Politics- influences people because they are the ones who choose those Political leaders, thinking that they have the answer to everything, not knowing that they have a discrete admiration toward discrimination.
Economy-influences people because they affiliate the ones with more money then the ones with less, therefore admiration towards the wealth is more desirable.

Race
U.S. Population Growth by RaceRacial Discrimination
To treat differently a person or group of people based on their racial origins. Power is a necessary precondition, for it depends on the ability to give or withhold social benefits, facilities, services, opportunities , from someone who should be entitled to them, and are denied on the basis of race, color or national origin.
Through out time we have experienced a huge growth of immigration seeking out a better life. although Caucasians weren't the first people around they are considered traditional Americans. The bigger factor is that as Americans we believe that it was only in our surroundings. but realistically racism happens everywhere,defined by the color of your skin you could be qualified as a noblemen, merchant, slave and those were times where there were kings and princesses! Essentially racism was and always be part of our life unfortunately we still haven't experienced a colored president, maybe because of the same thought that people had from back in the day. very sad to say but history does repeat itself.
