American society has been accused of fostering discrimination that oppresses the least powerful members of the culture. But this accusation could be applied to all societies. Throughout the world, human beings have engaged in discrimination. When examined objectively, even the most idealistic societies have discriminated between just and unjust, right and wrong, privileged and underprivileged in order to create a society that offers the best opportunities to all its citizens.
Which one of the following is a flaw in the argument?
A The claim that discrimination is practiced throughout societies is not actually pertinent to the argument.
B No statistics are cited to establish that more societies engage in discrimination than do not.
C The argument implies that discrimination is unique to American society.
D The argument does not consider theories that have proposed the creation of egalitarian societies.
E The argument uses two different meanings of the word “discrimination”.
Hey Guys,
Can you please help me solve this question. Please answer with a proper and detailed explanation. I got this question from Princeton Review online drills and cannot make any sense of their explanation.
Thanks a ton!!!

E is the answer?
got confused between B and E but chose E as it sounds better.

it never says idealistic societies oppresses the leas poweful members, you cannot assume it (though we tend to)
