The Index of Deep Disadvantage ranks US counties and cities based on the complexity of a person's life chances being hindered by multiple circumstances. The most disadvantaged places were primarily rural, with many having majority Black or Hispanic populations. These regions share themes of unequal schooling, violence, public corruption, and structural racism embedded in government programs.

- commentator analyses last week's press conference (read meemmevaikene.blogspot.com/202) and says:

"Racist motive shines through in government programme"

No amount of watered down “racism pamphlets”, hypocritical “equality papers” or forced “racism statements” change the fact that the government and it’s program are throughout racist, reinforcing structural racism and making life of immigrants more insecure and difficult.

Another example of structural racism (that the government “doing the most to fix racism than any other government before” has no interest to interfere with) in Finland.

You may not get a loan for your business if you have a “foreign” name and have no way of proving they’re being racist.

“We have zero tolerance for racism.” PM Petteri Orpo parrots week after week.

Meanwhile: “Government programme wants to tie unemployment benefits to language skills.

The proposed initiative would mean that those with weaker command of Finnish or Swedish would not be entitled to full unemployment support, but some experts believe that it may be unconstitutional.”

Evidence of in the :

'Research, published by the Trades Union Congress... showed the proportion of BME workers in low-paid & insecure work increased from 12.2% to 17.8% in the last decade. In comparison, the proportion of white workers in insecure work only rose marginally from 10.5% to 10.8%.

During this time period BME workers accounted for two-thirds of the growth of insecure workers – despite making up 14% of the overall UK workforce'!

Instead, the new map devised by the Alabama Legislature contains one Black-majority district and one district that leans Republic with a voting-age population that is only 42% Black. fivethirtyeight.com/features/a
