This article is misleading because its not really racial inequities at play here, but rather, class issues. Poor people all across the state have similar problems. It just so happens that more black people and hispanic people as a relative percentage of the population are poor than white people but in raw numbers there are still more white people with these ‘racial’ inequities. Its a bit misleading and unfair to present these purely as racial issues as if there is some mysterious and hidden statewide racist policy to promote racial inequities. There isn’t. it’s class.
