Is access to higher paying also based on color and caste? If so, housing and school resources etc are linked to the racial caste system that stands guard over who will ascend and how far...American Caste is very on guard at lending institutions and HR offices....

Considering that ALL schools are integrated, how does one answer the question as to why students of every race end up in different means of equity or financial status when they all attended the same school? Students who home school have far better education than those in the traditional school setting? Again, one has to ask why?

"good" neighborhood or upper middle-class neighborhood? Excellent sharing... And it's very hard for black parents to choose to leave most other black families and move into spaces where their children maybe the mascot in every white-only classroom.

Maybe that property tax system of more money the better the school needs to be overhauled. More of an equal system where every school gets adequate resources

The worst kind of inequity, is trying to make unequal things equal.🤔
Aristotle. (read on)
Why is inequality important?
While the thought of inequality may cause us some emotional discomfort, it is true. How would you make a professional athlete and a couch potato equal in sports? You can only try to pull the athlete down to the level of the weakest person. This is the basis of the Kurt Vonnegut short story “Harrison Bergeron“. Even the cursory synopsis on the Wikipedia page can make you revile the idea of forcing everyone down to the same level, just to make them all equal.
NOTICE I didn't mention Race, she had to, BUT when it comes to Basic Human rights, voting medical care etc I tend to DISSAGREE with Aristotle's view.
