| Racial Inequality can not be corrected using color-blind
remedies. Improving the status of everyone will move
everyone at the same pace. To remove racial disparities and
establish equity, you
have to direct some programs so that racial minorities are
improved at a faster rate than whites. |

| Selected Areas of Racial Inequity |
| Public Housing |
Most African-American public housing residents
continue to live in disproportionately minority neighborhoods, while
white public housing residents usually live in predominantly white
neigborhoods. These communities tend to be further differentiated by
income, as a majority of African-American public housing residents
live in poverty-concentrated neighborhoods, while their white
counterparts live in more affluent areas. See, HUD, The
Location and Racial Composition of Public Housing in the United
States (December 1994, 91 p.)

| Subprime Mortgages and
Predatory Lending |
Subprime loans are three times more likely in low income
neighborhoods than in high-income neighborhoods. Subprime
loans are five times more likely in black neighborhoods than in
white neighborhoods. Homeowners in high-income black areas are twice
as likely as homeowners in low-income white areas to have subprime
loans. See, HUD, Unequal Burden: Income and Racial Disparities in
Subprime Lending in America (April 2000, 15 p.)
