why were they discriminated?
There does not exist a single group of people in the world which has not tasted discrimination and outright hatred at some historical point. In modern history, however, there are several groups which stand out. Among these are women, Native Americans, Jews, African Americans, and currently, those within the LGBTQ community.
Somewhat longer ago: Blacks in the US and other countries; every other not 100% white person in South Africa before 1990; Japanese people in the US during WW2; women in the workforce; Jews in pre-war Germany; muslims in non-muslim countries; shiite muslims in predominantly sunnite muslim countries or areas; sunnites in predominantly shiite muslim countries or areas; the 'untouchables'-caste in India; people of Korean descent in Japan; aboriginals in Australia; native Indians in the US; older people looking for jobs; Coptic Christians in Egypt; homosexuals. With a little effort this list could easily be made three times as long.

Political appeals of the blank slate can justify discrimination
some groups do not want insider status as they may oppose govt all together or feel they will have to compromise their beliefs e.g ALF. however some groups are unable to gain insider groups this could be because of the methods they practice or their beliefs. governments generally do not like to be associated with controversial groups for instance groups associated with euthanasia. other groups may be unable to gain insider groups because their beliefs do not coincide with the beliefs of the government, this means that a groups status may change depending on simply who is government. so in answer to your question some groups choose outsider methods simply because of their beliefs and others may have to use outsider methods such as consulting opposition parties as they are unable to become recognised as legitimate by the government.
Mostly Muslims, however Jewish people have also faced discrimination, though currently not as much.

Another group that has faced discrimination is the Burakumin, who historically belonged to the "outcaste" class.
