The Implications of Emerging Demographics

A Commentary on the Meaning of Race and Income Inequity to Disability Policy

University of Chicago

The intersection of disability and minority status has been a fixture in U.S. disablement paradigms. In the following commentary I argue that the character of the discussion has become formulaic, focused on vague allusions to discrimination and bias in the delivery of services and supports. Although the disability community has moved from relative apathy to consistent concern over the past two decades, our field has attempted to address symptoms rather than the more fundamental question of the manner in which race and ethnicity matter.
