In a study which compared the phrase "racial achievement gap" to that of "racial inequality in educational outcomes," it was found that the two different framings of the term resulted in differences in the way surveyed teachers responded to prompts. Teachers who received the “gap” framing of the term did not prioritize closing gaps/ending inequality as highly as those who received the version of the term framed as “inequality", demonstrating the implications that can come from the language used in terms of the racial achievement gap.
