Race and Ethnic Disparities

Race and ethnic disparities refer to the unequal outcomes and experiences faced by different racial and ethnic groups, often influenced by historical, social, and economic factors. These disparities can manifest in areas like healthcare, education, employment, and housing, reflecting systemic inequalities and bias. Recognizing these differences is important for addressing injustice and creating policies that promote equity. While race and ethnicity are social constructs, their impact on individuals’ opportunities and treatment highlights the need for ongoing efforts to reduce disparities and ensure fair treatment for all groups.
