Final answer:
The false statement is that 'Their social support systems are weaker than whites' for people of color in the United States. Health and economic disparities do exist, such as shorter life expectancy and higher unemployment and poverty rates among people of color when compared to whites.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that is not true for people of color in the United States is 'Their social support systems are weaker than whites.' This is not necessarily correct as social support systems vary widely among individuals and communities, and strength in social systems is not strictly tied to race. When looking at the other options, we find that people of color in the United States do indeed have a lower median age than whites (Option A), experience more economic and health problems on average (Option B), and have proportionately more young people compared to whites (Option C).
Health inequalities are well-documented, with sources like the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that African Americans have a shorter life expectancy and suffer from higher rates of illness and health problems when compared to Whites. Economic disparities are highlighted with unemployment rates commonly being higher for non-Whites compared to Whites, and African Americans having a higher percentage of individuals living in poverty.
