In 1975, the average income for a black or Hispanic family was around $42,000, compared to the average income for a white family of around $65,000. In 2014, the income for a black or Hispanic family increased to $60,000, and the income for a white family increased to $100,000. What does this trend suggest about racial discrimination and income inequality? Racial discrimination has no bearing on income inequality since there has always been income inequality between groups. White families need more resources than black or Hispanic families, so income inequality and racial discrimination do not affect this outcome. Income inequality, and therefore racial discrimination, has diminished, since all families have a higher average income. Racial discrimination still affects income inequality and is even increasing the gap between average incomes
