Poverty rates are higher for African Americans and Latinos than for whites.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The class of African Americans has for centuries remained neglected. It has been subjected to racial and social discrimination both in the pre and post-independence periods.

For a long time in the history of the United States, certain privileges only remained limited to the whites and the African Americans were deliberately kept away from getting hold of the mainstream political and mainstream fronts.

They were denied access to many public resources and were restricted from doing a number of activities. This discrimination against them has led to clear statistical disproportion visible between the whites and the African Americans as far as poverty is concerned.
