Racism in 2016, in Healthcare:
- Black scientists are systematically underfunded
- Black Women Are 40 Percent More Likely To Die From Breast Cancer Than White Women
- Facilities treating African-American population are associated with a decrease in the availability and use of surgical services and an increase in emergency visits
- Republican governors’ ongoing resistance to the optional Medicaid expansion disproportionately harms African-Americans
- minorities are seriously underrepresented in health care professions
In education,
- Black students trail White students with respect to educational access, achievement, and attainment
- White teachers teachers predisposed to have lower
expectations of Black students and a lack of respect for the students’ families and primary culture
- When racism is taught in schools, its often presented as an individual problem, not an institutional one. This leads many white Americans to believe that discrimination occurs in a vacuum
