I don’t consider myself sensitive, subjective and emotional. But what the heck: I would say you might find your answer in Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. According to Maslow, first off, people try to meet their physiological needs; once those are met, they address their need for safety; then love, then esteem, then self-actualization. You wouldn’t, for example, care about not having a boyfriend if you had nowhere to live. So … minority women are, not always but often, poorer than white women. Thus, they’re probably likelier to get stuck at the physiological-needs level (trying to find daycare or pay the rent), whereas a white woman might have the luxury of being able to indulge her sensitive, subjective and emotional side. So it wouldn’t be that minority women are less sensitive, etc., just that their situations, in some cases, might force them to behave more pragmatically.
