Utdrag
Nevertheless, it is essential to acknowledge that the average income for whites remains significantly higher than that of blacks, and not all whites suffer the same fate. We are primarily referring to the most economically disadvantaged segment of the white population.

These policies aim to create equal opportunities for underrepresented groups, particularly in workplaces.
