A state of mind induced by society standard, historical events & opinions, education, childhood, economic background, religion, race, geographic region and many other external variables flucuating greatly between individuals resulting in the individual, group or idea feeling inadequate, second rate, discriminated against, isolated or foreign and forced to hide, disguise or avoid entirely personal actions, customs, practices, ideology or philosophy pertaining to physical, emotional, spirtual, sexual or any other personal expression unique to the human mind and body.
The black-market mentality projected upon minorities, by public opinion, is one of the reasons we are noticing a regression in our society within these groups, for example, depression, drug abuse and HIV prevelance in the homosexual community, crime statisics of ethnic minorities or workplace discrimination against medical marijuana patients.
