This could be racial disparity about anything, but I think the issue of prenatal nutrition ramps things up a bit because the consequences are so concerning.
So, we have about a large % of non-minorities publicly saying the issue is grounded in economic and social inequities and they want to help fix that. But a large chunk of these same people quietly believe that that is more about poor choices and wrong priorities, as opposed to economic barriers, social barriers, education, informed choices, etc.
The minorities impacted cant spot the good guys from the bad guys, but are historically skeptical of any of the "we are from the government and are here to save you from yourselves" people. And rightly so.
it is heavy mostly because of the sensitivity and the power imbalances. The groups that hold the purse strings for solutions often don't look like the minorities with the challenges, and neither side is too comfortable talking about all the factors at play..
