Discriminated against, not treated with equality, looked down upon through ignorant eyes yes, but outright systematic oppression from the Federal Government, not yet. For almost any demographic segment of the population you can find pockets of ignorance within this country where an an atmosphere of oppression is the norm. Since this discussion is regarding the position of the Federal Government I will not go that far yet.
You may call it oppression if you will, I choose to be a bit more realistic about the current situation.
