It was nice to see an actual list in this video. Here is my 2 cents. Any comments would be appreciated. School discipline: It cant be color because Asian, Indian and African born students are expelled the least. Hiring names: I agree. Email replies: I agree. Wealth gap: Wealth is inversely related to a spending gap. Stop and search: I agree. Crime sentencing: yes. Public defenders are poor quality just like public anything. Killed by police: I agree. Police called too much: I agree. Cops are becoming parents. Infant mortality: I presume the already free lower quality public health care to the poor is the cause. I agree. New media bias: News is polarized 90% left and woke. 10% is racist. You can find any narrative you want in the news. Racial steering: People steer themselves where they want to live. And America has been the top desirable place to live for 400 years. Tribalism is older than realtors.
Thanks for the reply. I'll preface my comments here by saying that all of the trends in racial discrimination I present are grounded in peer-reviewed, published scientific research. I'll offer a few studies to support the claims I make, but I am always happy to provide further peer-reviewed evidence on request. Regarding school discipline, there is a substantial amount of research demonstrating that Black and Latino students (especially boys) receive more severe disciplinary measures. Here is a recently published study analyzing federal data from more than 32 million students highlighting the disciplinary gap between Black and White students: www.pnas.org/content/116/17/8255 Wealth is affected by several factors. Arguing that racial disparities in wealth can be explained spending differences ignores several forms of racial discrimination that prohibit the accumulation of wealth (i.e., racial inequalities in education and employment). Also, wealth is generational. Black people in America were enslaved for centuries and unable to own property, earn incomes, and accumulate wealth. Also, the over-criminalization of POC disproportionately affects their ability to accrue wealth. This article provides a thorough summary of several of these issues: www.clevelandfed.org/newsroom-and-events/publications/economic-commentary/2019-economic-commentaries/ec-201903-what-is-behind-the-persistence-of-the-racial-wealth-gap Lastly, regarding racial steering, studies continue to find that POC are steered toward neighborhoods with poorer economic opportunities and higher rates of crime and pollution: www.nber.org/papers/w24826 Exploring the history of redlining in the U.S. may also be helpful here: www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-u-s-government-segregated-america Hope this is informative! --Dr. Dan
@@sociologysavestheworldwith3001 Thanks for replying. From your first source: From the paper: “The correlational nature of the analyses also presents challenges for interpretation, as it is impossible to definitively establish the causal relationship between bias and disciplinary disparities.” The authors admit they can’t prove racial bias directly contributed to the cause of the discipline gap. From your second source: I have to ask a simple question? I will research the answer myself, but maybe you can help. Does the 40% gap in household income between black and white head of household take into consideration the 25% gap in single vs two parent households? Two parents in the household pool resources and generate more income covering the shared expenses. th-cam.com/video/s3sdHffzPmA/w-d-xo.html If the marriage gap is to be ignored, how can one person be expected to accumulate the same amount of wealth as two people?
