The answer to this question is the concept of Intersectionality. Intersectionality is a concept that describes the system of oppression such as racism, homophobia, race, gender, age, etc. and that these are interconnected. The legal scholar Kimberle Crenshaw made this concept and this concept was used in studying critical theories that discussed sytematic oppresions.
