Discrimination has become more subtle and complex since the advent of modern day civil rights legislation. Although “smoking gun” evidence of clear, overt racial animus is much rarer than 50 years ago, large-scale statistical analyses of employment outcomes and mortgage originations continue to indicate significant, and troubling, disparities based on race, gender, and other protected characteristics.
