What do you think is the relationship between apathy and discrimination?

Sometimes people ask ‘why is there so much apathy?’ and it’s been previously asked on fluther as to the cure for apathy so, at the very least, it’s something we think about once in a while. The first thing that always comes to my mind is ‘have them be discriminated against, that’ll snap ‘em out of apathy’ which then gets me to think ‘what of the groups that are discriminated against and are all the more likely to live with apathy because they feel it’s all for nothing?’.

So, do you think there is more apathy where there is privilege or more apathy where there are less rights, less political voice, less representation?
