 Racial Disparities 

Wealth inequality in America has been growing exponentially fast in the past couple years. The gap in racial disparities has tripled between white and black families across the United States. In the article Wealth Inequality in the United States the author states, "Going even further into the data, a recent study by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and the Corporation For Economic Development (CFED) found that it would take 228 years for the average black family to amass the same level of wealth the average white family holds today in 2016." Seeing the research and the facts on the level of wealth between black and white families gives such a surprising perspective on the difference just based on race. When looking at the research of the difference in the "homeownership, household income, unemployment, education, and inheritance," the major gap is most interesting in health-care and Covid-19. As stated in the research below, results will show that race has a variety of factors that pull into the wealth and health inequalities in America.

 Health Care Concerning Race 

Racism, in today's society, has been a huge problem across the United States. In the article Racism: a fundamental driver of racial disparities in health-care quality the text states, "Racism is a fundamental driver of racial disparities. Individuals and institutions in the health-care system must prioritize addressing racism as their professional responsibility through training, support and inclusion." This article informs the readers that White populations received a better health-care than Black, Indigenous and Hispanic populations in almost 50% of US health-care systems. A person's intuition gives them cognitive and social biases which can destroy how people view and treat each other just based on race. For example, when 9/11 happened, a harsh bias was created against any Arabians in the United States. The outrage and pain from 9/11 was blamed on a whole race, even though it was only a small percentage from that group. Race has held a barrier in society showing unequal health equity standards. In the health field, many studies have proven blacks receive a lower level of quality care than white populations.

 Race Playing a Factor in Covid-19 Outcomes 

Another factor of the difference of racial disparities is Covid-19. In the article Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Testing and Outcomes it states, "Race was the most important predictor of SARS-CoV-2 infection. After infection, race was associated with increased hospitalization risk but not mortality." Even race has tied a factor into the Covid-19 outcomes.
