Indeed there are many kinds of bias including beautiful people whom are envied and punished for it. Civil rights Laws enacted in 1964, etc have more than leveled the playing field.
Rubi, for every minority you named you can name a hundred white males that have had equal or greater successes. The playing field has been tilted from what it was through the sixties but far from level IMHO. Capitalism overwhelmingly favors the powerful and the power still rests largely with the white male in this country.
