I am a psychological scientist who studies racism and sexism. Research on these topics identifies powerful biases of which most people are wholly unaware. For example, my recent research shows that women of color disproportionately receive unnecessary cesarean sections during birth — but only when they can afford to pay for them. It’s about gender and power. Mothers of color have little power. Doctors have lots of it. Research also shows why Black infant mortality rates are higher than White infant mortality rates. It’s racism and stress, not genetics. Because of social scientific research, we also know why women get paid less than men for the same quality of work — and we know why Black Americans die younger than White Americans.
