Re: Women still face discrimination in the workpla *LINK*

Rasi, you are not making sense again. You know fully well the topic is about unfair discriminations. In some cases discriminating on the basis of education and health can be perfectly legitimate.

You have not been able to invalidate our points about racial discrimination affecting dark-skinned Blacks the most. I will add that it affects dark-skinned Black women who do not fit the European ideal of size and beauty the most.

Of course there is size discrimination and all the other twists to it, but you take it anyway you want, the worst of it affects the Dark-skinned kinky-hair Black man and more so the Dark-skinned kinky-hair Black woman.

To answer the rest of your questions, do your own research. There have been numerous studies done, and this issue is too evident to be investing time in your ongoing distractions about it.

Colorism and African American Wealth: Evidence from the Nineteenth-Century South

Abstract

Black is not always black. Subtle distinctions in skin tone translate into significant differences in outcomes. Data on more than 15,000 households interviewed during the 1860 federal census exhibit sharp differences in wealth holdings between white, mulatto, and black households in the urban South. We document these differences, investigate the relationships between wealth and the recorded household characteristics, and decompose the wealth gaps into treatment and characteristic effects. In addition to higher wealth holdings of white households as compared to free African-Americans in general, there are distinct differences between both the characteristics of and wealth of free mulatto and black households, whether male- or female-headed. While black-headed households' mean predicted log wealth was only 20% of white-headed households', mulatto-headed households' was nearly 50% that of whites'. The difference between light- and dark-complexion is highly significant in semi-log wealth regressions. In the decomposition of this wealth differential, treatment effects play a large role in explaining the wealth gap between all subpopulation pairs.
