re: So Asians make more money on average than whites in the US

More than anything else, it's about choices. As a group, Asians work harder, place the most value on education, and place more emphasis on self-responsibility and self-control than any other group.

For example, I'm positive that the rate of teenage pregnancy in the Asian community is much, much lower than it is in the black community. 14 year-old Asian girls aren't getting pregnant and jeopardizing their educational opportunities.

More than anything else, it's about lifestyle choices. Some people want to sweep this inconvenient truth under the rug, so they talk about totally irrelevant "issues" like "white privilege." Obviously, "white privilege" hasn't kept Asians from achieving at a high level. That doesn't fit the narrative, which makes some people very uncomfortable.

These folks are so close-minded that they can't see how the circumstances under which you came to this country have a lot to do with your socio-economic status, which explains why African immigrants and their children are also well above that national average in income, college degrees and advanced degrees. The same is also true for South American immigrants. If it was just a Black thing, there would be no difference between the descendants of slaves and African immigrants, but it's not a Black or Asian thing, it's an immigrant thing.

Certainly heritage plays a role in life's outcome. For some it plays a larger role than others.

But go back to the original post, and take race completely out of it.

More Asians graduate HS, more Asians have a two parent family.

These are two choices individuals and families can make which have little to do with race.

Consider this, a HS education is there free for everyone.

Consider that a black woman or a black man can choose to marry, work hard TOGETHER, raise a family, and not cat around, have children with several partners, etc.

A black is no more doomed to failure than a white is guaranteed success.

Take morality and religion completely out of it, but from a pure business since; why would a black woman have four or five children with two or three men? Why would a black man want multiple kids with multiple women?

You would think that is a losing proposition, but think about it. does the govt. foster this kind of behavior and make it seem profitable to these people?

I don't know, but if the goal is to prosper in life ten the Asians seem to have found the ticket, and there should be something to be learned by thinking about the numbers.
