This document discusses racial inequality and its socio-economic impacts. It notes that racialized groups experience higher rates of poverty and unemployment than white groups in Toronto. Racialized individuals are also more likely to experience police surveillance and carding. The conflict theory perspective is discussed, which views racial tensions as a way for the wealthy to divide the working class and exploit minority labor. While tolerance has increased, racism remains a significant problem in Canada, and greater government programs, access to services, education, and awareness are needed to make progress on this issue.
