3. •Pattern of inequality, with race being the main
factor.
•Dept. of Education’s office for Civil Rights
released an article showing how minorities aren't
being treated as non-minorities are treated.
•The data showed minorities are more likely to be
suspended than whites, have a harder chance to
get in tougher math & science classes, and are
taught by less-experienced teachers.
•Data also showed that blacks are suspended and
expelled 3xs the rate of nonminorities.
•25% of high schools that have mostly Blacks and
Latinos don’t offer any algebra classes, while a
third aren't offering any chemistry classes.
4. A research published in the Public Health
Report shows that:
African Americans have a low level of trust in
medical care.
Blacks are less likely than whites to trust
their doctors and more likely to trust their
health insurance plans.
Most African Americans feel as if they are
subjects for harmful experiences at the
hospitals and doctor office. (The place of
Death)
Minorities receive lower quality of care.
5. There are many cases of racism and
discrimination
In order to protect employees from this issue,
every company is required to abide by the Equal
Opportunities Employment.
EOE protects applicants and employees from
discrimination in hiring, promoting, discharge, pay,
fringe benefits, job training, classification,
referral, and other aspects of EEOC employment,
on the basis of race (U.S Dept. of Labor).
U.S Census Bureau, 2000, reports highest
percentage of race employed is whites, 61%,
where lowest percentage is the blacks, at 52.5%.
6. Highest percentage of unemployment is the
Indians, at 7.5%; Lowest unemployment is the
whites, 3%.
According to the ASA, race & ethnicity can
influence chances for promotion.
Most high level managers are white and feel
comfortable with those similar to them.
ASA also mentioned that those seeking jobs use
different strategies to secure & keep stable
jobs, increase their chances for promotion, &
improve their standing in the job queue.
By doing so, they further their education & skills
and make use of personal contact networks.
7. Research shows that whites mostly got
high paying jobs through close people like
family, friends, and employment agencies,
who refer them.
Blacks typically find jobs by going to the
intended place of work and doing the
application. This job is most likely a lower-
paying position.
8. As of 2010, 8.4% of all marriages were
interracial.
15.1% of new marriages were also interracial
(Pew Research Center).
The interracial marriage rate , including
Hispanics increased from less than 1% to 7%
of all marriages (Lee & Edmonton 2005).
In 2010, more than 25% of Asian & Hispanic
American newlyweds married someone of a
different race, while 17% of blacks and 8% of
whites did the same.
More than 35% of Americans has an
immediate family member now married to
someone of a different race (Wang 2012).
9. African-Americans comprise only 13% of the
U.S. population and 14% of the monthly drug
users, but are 37% of the people arrested for
drug-related offenses in America.
Studies show that police are more likely to
pull over and frisk blacks or Latinos than
whites. In New York City, 80% of the stops
made were blacks and Latinos, and 85% of
those people were frisked, compared to a
mere 8% of white people stopped.
In 2010, the U.S. Sentencing Commission
reported that African Americans receive 10%
longer sentences than whites through the
federal system for the same crimes.
10. In 2009 African-Americans are 21% more likely
than whites to receive mandatory minimum
sentences and 20% more likely to be sentenced to
prison than white drug defendants.
In a 2009 report, 2/3 of the criminals receiving life
sentences were non-whites. In New York, it is
83%.
African Americans make up 57% of the people in
state prisons for drug offenses.
The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics concluded
that an African American male born in 2001 has a
32% chance of going to jail in his lifetime, while a
Latino male has a 17% chance, and a white male
only has a 6% chance.
Reports show that nearly 50% of Americans under
18 are minorities. The trend projects a reversal in
the population where by 2030, the majority of
people under 18 will be of color, and by 2042
nonwhites will be the majority of the U.S.
population.
