text_A: The slaves faced heavy discrimination and had no opportunity for advancement, though they were educated by their masters. The Spaniards considered the Taino superior to the Africans, since the former displayed a steadfast resistance to assimilation. The slaves, in contrast, had little choice but to adapt.
