Only government, not corporations, has no excuse for withholding racial data
Evidence
Corporations have no clear incentive to collect and share this information—unless they’re already hiring and compensating fairly, or national protests (like we saw during the summer of 2020) force their hands. But there’s no justifiable reason for the government not to collect and make public tax statistics by race. — Dorothy A. Brown, The Whiteness of Wealth, 516
