racial inequality
Unequal treatment by race
Racial inequality refers to disparities in resources, opportunities, or treatment between racial groups within a society.
These differences manifest in areas like wealth, education, healthcare, housing, and criminal justice outcomes: Racial inequality in homeownership traces back to discriminatory lending practices.
The term describes measurable gaps rather than individual prejudice, though the two are often connected.
