Is there a word for not having your/ or a race's opinion being taken into account? More of a discrimination/racism type of word.
For example.
"Discrimination can be demonstrated through insulting, marginalizing, or [word] a race."
Help is greatly appreciated, even the closest word related to this is fine.
You should be able to use exclude in this context (though perhaps its noun form exclusion conveys this meaning better).
"Discrimination can be demonstrated through insulting, marginalizing, or [excluding]/[exclusion of] a race (from something like decision making)."
ODO:
exclude
VERB [WITH OBJECT]
1 Deny (someone) access to a place, group, or privilege.‘As we saw above, early migrants were largely excluded from access to public housing by complex residence and qualification rules.’
exclusion
NOUN [mass noun]
1 The process of excluding or the state of being excluded.‘I wasn't sure whether the issue was one of social privilege or gender exclusion, or both.’
‘Both sides of this issue reflect the social and geographical exclusion of black people in a discriminatory society.’
