What are some consequences of racial discrimination in terms of household net worth and prison sentencing?
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: The median net worth of white households is over $143,000 as compared to slightly more than $9000 for African American and Latino households. Even when researchers look at comparable households in terms of age, education, occupation and income, black and Latino households typically have less than a quarter of the wealth of white households.
Another consequence of institutional racism is the incarceration of disproportionate numbers of African Americans, especially males. This disparity stems from racially biased penalties imposed during the judicial process, and institutional biases resulting in different outcomes for people of color. Police are given wide latitude in enforcing laws and making arrests. The FBI reports street crime, but not white collar crime which is generally committed by white people and costs society much more in terms of fraud and employee theft.
