The government recognizes that social factors cause racial inequalities in access to resources and opportunities that result in racial health disparities. However, this recognition fails to acknowledge the root cause of these racial inequalities: structural racism. As a result, racial health disparities persist.
政府认识到,社会因素导致在获取资源和机会方面存在种族不平等,从而导致种族健康差距。然而,这种认识未能承认这些种族不平等的根源:结构性种族主义。因此,种族健康差距持续存在。
