The average white American household income is $65,902 Wikipedia

Looking at the breakdown of the top 10 household incomes by ancestry this is what you will get:

Indian Americans: $126,705
Taiwanese Americans: $102,405
Australian Americans: $100,856
Filipino Americans: $100,273
South African Americans: $98,212
Basque Americans: $94,091
Indonesian Americans: $93,501
Pakistani Americans: $87,509
Iranian Americans: $87,288
Lebanese Americans: $87,099

None of these people (other than Australians) look white. So what is going on here? I’m told that white supremacy is the number one threat and that systemic racism is holding back people of color.

If racism explains the difference in opportunities between white and black what explains the difference between Indian and white?

Our immigration system generally favors those from other countries that already have some built-in wealth. And I don't mean wealthy. A lot of those nationalities listed also come here on student visas and eventually become citizens.

If they can afford to relocate to America, then they're probably already doing well financially. America is not exactly getting the poor population from those countries.

How dare you come at me with facts, bigot! Using facts and statistics to contradict my virtue signaling is racist! #wearyourmask

It’s not simply economic success as defined by capitalist America that they’re after. It’s about shifting America culturally and systemically away from “whiteness.” The restructuring of America leads to posts like these being null and void because there’s no such thing as class based on household income.

Further, it’s about social power and transformative practices that alter the innate personality of the country.

To them, using household income is making assessments with “whiteness” as the standard.

when I lived in FL the Seminoles(real ones,) were kind of like the Walmarks of mafiosos, the leadership lived like double wide millionaires, private jets, hookers and blow, etc., and different factions always trying to take over, whilst the run of the mill tribespeople lived in squalor and abject poverty

Whose parents were probably also doctors or IT personnel before immigrating here.

Want that kind of bank? Then your kid better be pulling 4.0 GPA in middle school to get into a good MST/STEM high school program in your area. Because that's where that typically starts with these families.

Political threads belong on the political board. Does that upset you?

This is a tired topic and the responses by poster can be given in advance. It does absolutely nothing.

I think you underestimate how much money you can make running convenience stores. Those kinds of incomes aren't reserved for white collar workers.
