Solution

The correct answer is D. "Yes and no—all races and ethnicities are officially equal under the law, but they do not have equal social standing."

While the United States is a pluralistic society in the sense that it is home to many different ethnicities, races, and cultures, it is also true that not all groups have equal social standing. Despite legal equality, there are still significant social, economic, and political disparities among different racial and ethnic groups.
