For a demonstration of the role of power seeking behavior in repressing another group, look at the history of mainly southern women in the US. After the African slaves were freed and the male former slaves given the right to vote, white women were absolutely offended that a person they may have owned a few weeks earlier now held a right that they lacked.

Indeed the initial strength of the KKK has been traced back to lower income white males and white females of all economic classes.
