I think income and race/gender are too intertwined to characterize it as ignoring the income issue. I agree that income is strongly correlated to many outcomes, health or otherwise. When it comes to solutions, though, you can't raise income without addressing the racial and gender biases today.

The same resume with a Black sounding name gets far less traction than a stereotypically white name. Income and race are, unfortunately, coupled.

I think economic justice and racial equality and gender equality all come hand-in-hand.

When you hear people talking about racial injustice, while you advocate for economic equality, I think both are ultimately advocating for the same position.
