**(a) Findings** With respect to the programs authorized in subchapters II through VII, the Congress finds as follows:
(1) **Racial profile** — The demographic profile of America is rapidly changing. While the percentage increase from 2000 to 2010 for white Americans was 9.7 percent, the percentage increase for racial and ethnic minorities was much higher: 43.0 percent for Latinos, 12.3 percent for African-Americans, and 43.2 percent for Asian-Americans.
(2) **Rate of disability** — Ethnic and racial minorities tend to have disabling conditions at a disproportionately high rate. In 2011—
(A) among Americans ages 16 through 64, the rate of disability was 12.1 percent;
(B) among African-Americans in that age range, the disability rate was more than twice as high, at 27.1 percent; and
(C) for American Indians and Alaska Natives in the same age range, the disability rate was also more than twice as high, at 27.0 percent.
(3) **Inequitable treatment** — Patterns of inequitable treatment of minorities have been documented in all major junctures of the vocational rehabilitation process. As compared to white Americans, a larger percentage of African-American applicants to the vocational rehabilitation system is denied acceptance. Of applicants accepted for service, a larger percentage of African-American cases is closed without being rehabilitated. Minorities are provided less training than their white counterparts. Consistently, less money is spent on minorities than on their white counterparts.
