RACIAL EQUITY CANNOT BE MEASURED WITHOUT DISAGGREGATING DATA

 

“Breaking out the data this way provides an opportunity to explore the structural reasons for this gap, like employment and education opportunities or barriers and immigration history. ”

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

http://eecoswitch.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=http://eecoswitch.com/compliance/ Asian data is missing before 1987 or so. That’s due to the U.S. Asian population not being large enough before then to be ‘statistically significant’. The reason for the low Asian population is due to the Asian Exclusion Act of 1924 and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

 

Immigration policies are no longer based on race. They now prefer the highly educated, which explains the higher income.

 

If the U.S. would implement http://sargeantstudios.net/?m=201106 low cost public higher education it would level out this income gap over time.

 

The U.S. benefits from the educational infrastructure of other countries. The U.S. uses (im)migrant brains without making the investment in education for it’s own citizens.

Joshua Solomon

Joshua Solomon (c. 1974- ) was a White American university student who made himself look black in 1994 to see what it would be like. He was going to do it for about four months and visit different parts of the country. He only lasted a week.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 I’m sure it didn’t help him that he doesn’t seem to smile much.

And here he is on Oprah
