Racism & Health: New Evidence :: racismreview.com
Racism is bad for your health, new evidence suggests. We’ve written before about the link between racism and health. Traditionally, scholars have conceptualized this in only one direction; that is, racism is bad for people of color. African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans who are the targets of racism are worse off than whites in terms of their health on a wide range of measures. Some of this is about health disparities rooted in income inequality, but there’s a growing body of research that points to racism as a root cause for at least part of these differences. Now, some new research suggests that racism may also be harmful for white people.
