While 20% of white people between 16 and 24 years of age are unemployed - which is bad enough - 48% of blacks are. Whatever the reason, and whether or not anything can be done to correct it, that means bad trouble to come. And more to the point, there is something essentially wrong with it. A fair society should not put up with a whole section of it being unable to access employment.

Correct me if wrong, but I believe that Pakistanis are classified as Asians.

Date: 2010-01-22 11:35 pm (UTC)hence i posted a link to enable all, of those whose ancesters walked also from the rift valley some 70 to 120-odd thousand years ago, to understand that, here, chinese aren't asian - they're chinese, japanese, moroccans (berbers), americans and afghanis are other, asians are indians, pakistanis and bangladeshis (who really do suffer, incidentally), and none of them are muslims for the purposes of the labour force survey. one probably shouldn't forget the irish, the poles, the italians or eastern europeans either... *sigh*
