The US Racial Terrain

In chapter 3.3 Taylor expands onto the topic of the US racial terrain in modern day. Taylor talks about how non-whites are more likely  to be unemployed, commit or become victims of a crime, receive substandard medical care, and to live in inadequate housing. Also, he talks about the so-called achievement gap, rates of incarceration and the infant mortality rate. I feel as though these things are no coincidence that American society operates like this. I don't think its a coincidence that every race that's not of the European descent is struggling in the areas that Taylor presented in this section of the chapter.  Later, Taylor talks about how the US population still looks to be divided into races. I agree, with Taylor on this point because majority of this country is still segregated. There are still certain parts in the south which minorities in particular blacks aren't allowed to travel.
