> Staggering US wealth inequality heaps long-term harm on to low-income children, minorities most affected
It would say everything there is to say without throwing non-minority low-income children under the bus. IMO, children are a bit too young and malleable for racial-identity profiling. They have insane amounts of potential for change, and putting them in racial boxes seems in poor taste.
What? Children are aware of the racial aspect of society by the time they exit elementary schools. Being a child does not mean society is blind to your race and that it doesn't act on it.
Yes, minorities are disproportionately represented in this group -- but frankly, there is getting to be so many inter-racial marriages, that it really makes less and less sense to frame all of this around 'minority status'.
With kids though!? It's so misguided. You don't know who they're gonna be.
