A group of researchers at Tulane University have conducted a study that claims structural racism plays a part in mass shootings.
Researchers from Tulane studied 51 metropolitan areas across the United States and concluded communities with higher black populations have more mass shooting than communities with a higher white population.
The study notes that structural racism may play a part in mass shootings and defined structural racism as “the normalized and legitimized range of policies, practices, and attitudes that routinely produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color.”
Mass shootings in major metropolitan areas in the United States disproportionately affect Black people, and structural racism may play a role, according to a study published in the journal JAMA Surgery https://t.co/vD9lgHrDBJ
