I don't understand the down votes happening here. This is clearly an ingrained facet of Western politics and society. Why else would minority groups be over represented in prisons and below the poverty line, generally lower educated, generally compensated at a lower level than white male counterparts of the same skill and education level. Coincidentally because of an inherent superiority of white males? I don't fucking think so. |

I find that interesting. And it's also interesting that certain minorities are overrepresented in prisons outside the United States as well.
> Generally lower educated.
Well the cat is out of the bag that the poor performing minority schools are actually getting more funding per-pupil than majority white schools. So what's the problem, is it because of white males in the U.S. somehow?
> Compensated at a lower level
Do you know how easy it is for an average-skilled black man or woman to get hired in their trade? Do you know that if you're say an electrician's union, you will get placed on vastly more projects than white workers just because of skin color and project demographic scoring? Do you know that once even a private company grows to a certain point they begin getting hounded by the gov't and private groups over their demographics? The structural racism is not only a lie it goes in the opposite direction. Anyone who works in gov't, education or private trades knows this full well.
