Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.

But instead of bringing families together, Aderhold's letter revealed a divide in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along racial lines.

Subconscious racial discrimination.

While we argue phasing out racial terminology ( ' , 术语 ) in the biological sciences, we also acknowledge that using race as a political or social category to study racism, although filled with lots of challenges, remains necessary given our need to understand how structural inequities and discrimination produce health disparities ( ' , 差异 ) between groups, Yudell said.

So what other variables could be used if the racial concept is thrown out? Yudell said scientists need to get more specific with their language, perhaps using terms like ancestry or population that might more precisely reflect the relationship between humans and their genes, on both the individual and population level.

Racial terms are still useful in certain fields of study.

In one example that demonstrated genetic differences were not fixed along racial lines, the full genomes ( ' , 基因组 ) of James Watson and Craig Venter, two famous American scientists of European ancestry, were compared to that of a Korean scientist, Seong-Jin Kim.

In an article published in the journal Science, four scholars say racial categories need to be phased out.

Doing away with racial discrimination is challenging.

The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeating the professional world.

So what factors, at the community level, do predict if poor children will move up the economic ladder as adults? What explains, for instance, why the Salt Lake City metro area is one of the 100 largest metropolitan areas most likely to lift the fortunes of the poor and the Atlanta metro area is one of the least likely?Harvard economist Raj Chetty has pointed to economic and racial segregation, community density, the size of a community's middle class, the quality of schools, community religiosity, and family structure, which he calls the single strongest correlate of upward mobility.

Racial equality.

Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.

Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.

It is free from racial biases.

It is based on racial roots.

Chetty finds that communities like Salt Lake City, with high levels of two-parent families and religiosity, are much more likely to see poor children get ahead than communities like Atlanta, with high levels of racial and economic segregation.

The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact.

It was as urgent as racial equality

It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.

The traits that characterise him are very contradictory to the racial stereotypes that black people are aggressive and uneducated,\ says Ashby Plant of Florida State University.

Just one week after Obama was elected president, participants were less ready to support policies designed to address racial inequality than they had been two weeks before the election

Those trying to address issues of racial inequality need to constantly remind people of the inequalities that still exist to counteract the Obama's effect, she says.

Though Plant's findings were more positive, she too warns against thinking that racism and racial inequalities are no longer a problem

A negative side of the Obama effect is that people are now less ready to support policies addressing racial inequality.

more people have started to criticise President Obama's racial policies

people are now less ready to support policies addressing racial inequality.

Cheryl Kaiser holds that people should be constantly reminded that racial inequality still persists in American society.

racial inequality still persists in American society.

The worst possible aspect of the Obama effect is that people could ignore his race altogether and continue to hold on to their old racial stereotypes

The most interesting thing we found was that if the relationship managed to continue for just 10 weeks, we could see an improvement in racial attitudes.

Their racial attitudes improved
