Fascinating New Data Sheds Light On The State Of Women Of Color In U.S.


While it’s clear the the economy isn’t exactly going gangbusters lately, a new set of data from the Center for American Progress highlights the unique challenges that women of color in the U.S. face.

Looking at data on wage gap, education and leadership (among other criteria), the report states plainly the financial hurdles hispanic, african-american, native american and asian-american women deal with, including high unemployment and diminished access to health insurance.

Read on for all he stats:

    This site has to both make women out as superior AND victims.  Very telling, these tactics are.

    BTW, is it not a little absurd that “Women of Color” is trendy but simply “Colored Women” is not?

    Why not also ask how many are having kids on the taxpayer’s dime.

    Ooops that might be too embarrassing.

    If you can’t feed them, don’t breed them, but that’s not what our government has been telling them.

    No.

    People of color get to state the distinction and identification.  

    Not the old way.

    God made the term “Colored Women”?

    No, who made them God? I would like to know what White people can dictate.

    Why should Blacks be able to dictate what terms others use? What terms are there like this for Whites? Do Whites change their name every few years?

    ~~Why should Blacks be able to dictate what terms others use?~~

    For the same reason you tell somebody what name you go by, you racist twit.

    More whites are on public assistance, specifically TANF.

    I always enjoy…’women of color’…most people know that black is the absence of color, white is a combination of all colors

  • Mjolnir Hammerschlag

    It stands to reason.  This entire country is majority White.

    Then again, you have a crypto-Marxist / Muslim / foreigner / bisexual driving the economy into the dirt, spending our children into oblivion, emasculating our military and bowing before foreign dictators.  It’s increasingly obvious that he hates America and doing everything he can to kill job creation. 

    Also, there is a difference between long-term, generations on welfare and the newly displaced.   But understanding all this requires thought above the level of chanting slogans and flinging poo.

    It’s a sentient thing.

    You wouldn’t understand.

  • Anonymous

    I stopped reading when you said the country is majority White.

    You don’t read censuses.

  • Anonymous

    It’s not that I don’t understand.

    Maybe I don’t agree.

    Your treatise wasn’t of some type of higher order thinking.

    It’s thoughts of myopic thinkers.

    So what’s new.

    It you were attempting critical theory you would know not to use a back formation.  A formation in a sentence denotes a choice.

    2010 Census:

    “The examination of racial and ethnic group distributions nationally shows that while the non-Hispanic white alone population is still numerically and proportionally the largest major race and ethnic group in the United States.”

    The stupid… it burns, doesn’t it?

  • Anonymous

    You cut the sentence off.

    Dishonest editing.

    Here’s the actual citation:

    Hispanic and Asian Populations Grew Fastest During the Decade
    The U.S. Census Bureau released today the second in a series of 2010 Census briefs, Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin: 2010, which looks at our nation’s changing racial and ethnic diversity and provides a snapshot of the racial and Hispanic origin composition of the United States.
    The examination of racial and ethnic group distributions nationally shows that while the non-Hispanic white alone population is still numerically and proportionally the largest major race and ethnic group in the United States, it is also growing at the slowest rate. Conversely, the Hispanic and Asian populations have grown considerably, in part because of relatively higher levels of immigration.

    http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/2010_census/cb11-cn125.html

    That’s how you do a citation.  Don’t use quotation marks when you’re not using verbatim.

    You just can’t get anything right, can you?

    CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 01/2012
    Welfare issue makes political comeback

    Blacks form a slight plurality in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, a system that offers cash assistance and is much smaller than the food stamp program. Of families receiving TANF help in 2009, 33 percent were African-American, 31 percent were white and 29 percent were Hispanic.

    Better leave the thinking to those of us with opposable thumbs, hey?

    2009?!?!?!

    That’s 3 years ago!!!

    HAHAHAHA!

  • Mjolnir Hammerschlag

    Dude, you really have been sniffing SHARPIES again, haven’t you?

    You’ve just been proven wrong on both your counts. 

    1) You asserted more Whites were on TANF than Blacks, and it’s 33 percent Black to 31 percent White.

    I don’t know what kind of math they use in your universe, but in the real world you are either lying or just plain wrong.

    2) You suggested that the USA is not majority White.  The 2010 Census proved just that.  Rate of growth is something else.

    This proves that you are so intent on picking out crusties and sniffing them that you cannot focus from one concept to the next.

    I think I’ll ignore you from here on out.   Arguing with idiots is a bad practice.  They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    You didn’t read the Census report to the end.

    The “article” from the Tribune used data from 2008-2009.

    You’re not good at percentiles.

    Color theory says the opposite.

    Did you say that to put out public misinformation?

    Or did you really believe this?

    Seriously.

    I just think you said the complete opposite to make artist angry.
