Answer: Discrimination and Job Displacement, Struggles for Civil Rights, Segregation and Unequal Access

Explanation:

Discrimination against minorities, particularly Mexican Americans and immigrants, intensified during the Great Depression. They were often the last to be hired and the first to lose their jobs. This discriminatory practice aimed to preserve employment opportunities for white citizens.

The economic hardships of the Great Depression intensified the struggles for civil rights among minority communities. Activism increased as minority groups sought to address issues of discrimination, unequal employment opportunities, and social injustices

Segregation and unequal access to resources persisted, with minorities facing limited opportunities in education, housing, and healthcare. The economic challenges exacerbated existing inequalities.
