U.S. Racial and Economic Inequality, Visualized
Sometimes design can make unsavory information a little bit more accessible, if not more palatable. We’re enjoying this infographic we saw over at Sociological Images that breaks down some of the more famous and familiar findings in gender and racial inequality in this country in everything from housing to education and employment. But we’ll stop here. (The other thing about good design is the way it eliminates the need for lots of explanatory text.)

But then that would mean they'd have to realize The Other. Would shatter their poor white minds.
So, if you're an ~isha baby~ you're pretty much screwed :|
i have a cousin with a -isha in her name, so she has to use her middle name
i also remember reading this in freakonomics, and i was disappointed in the fact that they just said there wasn't enough data to say why people weren't getting call back, completely glossed over the fact that it was probably discrimination, but whateva
I really need to have that well-summarized the next time someone tries a "there's no racism" argument.
