What exactly are the ill-effects of this demographic isolation? The most extreme geographic segregation is unique to black Americans and apparently unrelated to economic status and not explained by preferences for the residence, thus strongly suggesting the persistence of racial discrimination. In contrast to poor whites, who typically live dispersed among better-off families, poor blacks, because of residential segregation, are concentrated in poor neighborhoods. As a result, residential segregation contributes to the problems of these areas, including high concentrations of poverty, educational failure, unemployment, extramarital parenthood, crime, and high mortality. In addition, the increasing importance of suburbs as centers for commerce and habitation has drained resources from inner cities and led to a cyclic decline in the political will to address poverty and urban decline, both of which disproportionately affect ethnic minorities.第8题：In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with________.A.hypothesizing about a set of circumstancesB.chronicling the emergence of a phenomenonparing two conflicting points of viewD.cataloging the cause and effects of a phenomenonE.arguing the necessity of solving a problem第9题：According to the passage, the author would agree with which of the following statementsconcerning the geographic segregation of black Americans?Ⅰ.
