How to use "Mis-represented" in context?
Mis-represented is an issue that disproportionately affects low-income communities of color. According to a report released by the National People's Action, Inc. (NPA), "faced with the reality of structural inequity, people of color are more likely to live in areas with poorer educational and job opportunities, high rates of crime and poverty, and less access to health and social services" (NPA, 2017). In addition, people of color are more likely to experience police brutality and racism. This creates a cycle of poverty, racism, and police brutality.
