Here are just some things that happen to POC to this day...
Segregation: "One in four black Americans and one in six Hispanics live in high-poverty neighborhoods, compared to just one in thirteen white Americans" (Paul A. Jargowsky, New Century Foundation)
Police Brutality: "Police officers are more likely to use their hands, push a suspect into a wall, use handcuffs, draw weapons, push a suspect onto the ground, point their weapon, and use pepper spray or a baton when interacting with blacks." (Roland Fryer Jr, Harvard)
Less likely to get a job or receive higher pay: " The unemployment rate for prime-age workers—those who are ages 25 to 54—fell to an average of 5.2 percent for Black workers and an average of 2.8 percent for whites for the period from November 2018 and October 2019." (Christian E. Weller, Center for American Progress)
Receive Poorer/No Healthcare: “Racial and ethnic minorities receive lower-quality health care than white people—even when insurance status, income, age, and severity of conditions are comparable.” By “lower-quality health care.” (National Academy of Medicine)
Implicit Bias: "Other research explored the connection between criminal sentencing and Afrocentric features bias, which refers to the generally negative judgments and beliefs that many people hold regarding individuals who possess Afrocentric features such as dark skin, a wide nose, and full lips. Researchers found that when controlling for numerous factors (e.g., seriousness of the primary offense, number of prior offenses, etc.), individuals with the most prominent Afrocentric features received longer sentences than their less Afrocentrically featured counterparts."
