It is rampant in all sects.

Biden isn't catholic enough. Blah, blah, blah.

My mother in law, who escaped hitlers Germany in 1937 as a young Jewish girl, describes how the most severe discrimination she felt came from upper class jaws already settled in America.

So yeah, there is nothing magical about being a member of a discriminated minority. There can always be someone who rose up, became successful, and established themselves as an asshole.
