I’m not super happy with the lack of supporting data, just colorful graphs and a lot of emotional anecdotes but there is a clear disparity that I think warrants greater investigation. I love the credit union movement and was shocked to read this article. I would love to hear your opinions lemmings!
In the US lots of forms have race or ethnicity input fields. It always baffles me as a European. Like how is that relevant, except for discrimination.
I think the logic is to track data like this… I’ve never understood it either though…
We’re tracking the data to prove we’re going to do what you said we’re going to do.
Very much for this. In schools in decent states the students self identity. That is then used to look for over representation in suspension or expulsion.
How else can mathematically prove bias or discrimination?
Individually, the ethnicity is known or presumed by staff but without it being known systemically it can’t be addressed systemically.
