Racism is the direct cause of domestic inner-city problems

Student reflects on his time studying the NYC public school system, where he spent 2.5 weeks working in a high school in the Bronx, NY. The author identifies racism as the core problem that is causing many inner-city domestic problems. The author then states that problems such as food insecurity, lack of educational resources, school overcrowding, etc. in inner-city neighborhoods have not received national attention, because of their racial makeup tending to be majority Black and Latinx.
