29. Distribution lacking health insurance by race and ethnicity (2004) Latest uninsured data from CFED The higher uninsured rate for Hispanics is not associated with higher poverty levels than other groups — the poverty rate for Hispanics is slightly lower than for African-Americans, 22.2% vs. 24.9% respectively. Rather, research has shown that Hispanics are more likely to be employed in jobs that do not offer health insurance…but when offered health insurance they accept at the same rates at whites and blacks (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services)

LAPD data (Ayres and Borowsky, 2008) • Frisked African Americans are 42.3% less likely to be found with a weapon than frisked Whites and that frisked Hispanics are 31.8% less likely to have a weapon than frisked non-Hispanic Whites. • Consensual searches of Blacks are 37.0% less likely to uncover weapons, 23.7% less likely to uncover drugs and 25.4% less likely to uncover anything else. • Consensual searches of Hispanics similarly are 32.8% less likely to uncover weapons, 34.3% less likely to uncover drugs and 12.3% less likely to uncover anything else.
