Those that allege the U.S. is a racist nation often cite income disparities between whites and other ethnicities.  That’s the narrative that propels the Critical Race Theory initiative that has countless numbers of whites groveling and suffering from irredeemable guilt. White fragility and anti-racism pressures have brainwashed the Woke into endemic guilt over their white skin. Are minorities at the bottom of the income scale due to systemic racism?  Hardly!  2020 Census Bureau data shows in stark terms, at least eight non-white ethnic groups do better than the average American, including Whites.

Can the paucity of mixed-race marriages be an indicator racist country? How can it be that racist America has a 10% rate of marriages that are of mixed race? This percentage has been steadily rising over the years. In 2021 15% of all marriages were mixed race. And, according to Gallup an overwhelming majority of 94% of Americans approve of mixed marriages.

The demographics of America is more diverse than ever and keeps going up year by year. If this were a truly a racist nation, Americans would not show up in droves every time to help their fellow citizens, no matter their race, after a disaster. America has 146 million people that identify as ethnic minorities. The continued lie that the U.S. is a racist nation is a repeated narrative from progressive groups, media, academia, and entertainment and it isn’t true.

If the U.S. is racist, how could we welcome so many people from different ethnicities, races and cultures? You sure can’t tell it from U.S. immigration policy. In the data from the Census Bureau, as of 2016, the foreign-born population was in excess of 43 million of which only 8 million are white (18.6%). Why would America welcome millions of non-whites from all over the world to our shores if we were racist through and through?

In the area of advanced degrees, 63% of the Masters degrees in 2020 were granted to whites and 37% were granted to minorities. According to the 2020 Census, the white/minority demographic was 61.3% versus 38.7%. The numbers above show that the American higher education system is clearly not racist.

According to Brookings, the liberal think tank, the diversity of the nation’s middle class matches the overall diversity of the nation. There has been dramatic progress over the past 40 years to the point where middle-class diversity is a representative overlay matching the national demographic percentages. Opportunity exists for our citizens to rise to the middle class and higher without constraints or bias due to racism holding people back. 

On February 26, 2021, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released the Fiscal Year 2020 Enforcement and Litigation Data. Their statistics demonstrate the extreme rarity of discrimination in the U.S. contrary to the constant beating of the drum in the press about rampant racism. EEOC received charges of workplace discrimination in FY 2020 was down roughly 7% from 2019. In drastic contrast, the agency received five times the number of charges in 2010. Where residual racism is found, it is investigated and adjudicated in accordance with the laws.

What about racism in holding public office as a member of Congress? At the seating of the 117th Congress, there were 124 minority members, a 97% increase in minority members in the House of Representatives since the Congress of 2001-2003. 

With respect to law enforcement, 12.1% of the police in the U.S. are black. The black population of the U.S. stands at 12.5%. 

Regarding military composition, Task Force One Navy reported that in 2021, the U. S. military had a minority representation at 43% versus a national demographic of 39%.
