The Research Network on Racial and Ethnic Inequality (The Network), a program affiliated with REGSS and an affiliate of the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) at Duke University, is a consortium of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary inquiry on disparities between racial and ethnic groups in a comparative, cross-national context. The Network's researchers examine the sources of and policies to remedy for group based disparities in wealth, income, employment, education, politics, health (both physical and mental), and the transmission of advantage across generations.

[I could say, "Love one another." But that would be too simple.

Oddly, persons who arrive in this country as refugees from war-torn Cambodia, or equally war-torn Sudan--don't seem to be held back by "the transmission of advantage across generations".

I won't even get into the "group based disparities in wealth, income, employment, education, politics, health (both physical and mental)"

But if there is a solution to these things, I don't think it lies in finding another group to blame... ]

Their colleague, the gay racist child molester, won't be available to fill them in on HIV-AIDS funding issues. Too bad!
