Both people in this picture are being abused by the company. The difference is that the company also lets the white guy abuse the black guy, and for that reason, the white guy feels superior.

This is one of those things you see in fascist governments. As long as people are able to abuse someone, they'll accept a much worse station as well as a lot of abuse themselves.
