Far be it for me to question the importance of one or two anecdotal stories , but I ' m a little skeptical of this oneWas the lunch part of a trend of little or no food ? Was the child malnourished ? Did the roti even have filling , or was it just bread ? The article goes on to point out that most of these cases involve stress and poverty due to larger economic trends , which tend to impact minority groups with large numbers of low socioeconomic status families more acutely which perfectly explains their overrepresentation in the child protection systemOnce again , I ' m looking for evidence of ' systemic racism ' and finding very little but assumptions and second hand stories of single events that may have more to do with ignorance or incompetence than racially motivated malice Maybe there are a lot of black kids in foster homes because they ' re more likely to be poor , and that ' s the end of it ?
