Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

People grow up with different back rounds and develop different cultural biases and although some are able to recognize oppression in their own groups or in near by communities they have seen first hand, it is human nature to assume something doesn't exist if we do not see it. Hence if we cannot see oppression or experience it first hand one is more inclined to deny its existence.
