Does race impact the likelihood of a person with a disability getting hired?

by | Jul 7, 2020

There is no evidence that race impacts a person with a disability being hired. It appears that disability trumps all other possible discriminating factors. Within the disability community there is discrimination regarding people of color with disabilities and white people with disabilities just like in our community there is still discrimination between typical people of color and typical white people. Disability doesn’t discriminate, it affects all cultures, races, religions, and gender identities.
