Poor people are terribly discriminated against, by both the general populace, and by the government. I can't help but think back to the Holocaust, when Jews were blamed for everything...They get little attention because those places have been a war-zone for quite some time now, so it's not really "news" when some people die over there.
...and there isn't even any significant reason to suspect them, the only possible reason is because less than 1% of the population is extremist and has resources to cause major havoc. It isn't like white people don't do the same thing, but because we're the majority, it's gone unnoticed. And it isn't like the US isn't doing the same thing to other countries.
