I live in an area of California with very few blacks, to be honest, so that's hard to say. I will say that Los Angeles social services, not far from us, is a complete mess, and they of course do. Actually, something really interesting race-wise I can tell you, a fact that makes folks I tell it uncomfortable: When I was finishing my masters degree, I had an internship with county social services, the traditional "social worker" job that most people think of. As I was learning about the different abuse situations that my field supervisor encountered on the day to day, I noticed that she didn't have a single sexual abuse case on her caseload. I found that odd, and asked about it. She said that the sexual abuse cases always have to go to the Spanish-speaking social workers, because the majority are from Spanish-speaking families. Excuse me, whaaaat? Haha, that was a 🤯 moment for this young social worker. All the stats that are unfit to print!
