Nice graph, thank you

All I know is that if an Indian guy goes to jail around here they're considered "white"

Santorum had it correct before he was “raaaaciiiiiist”
Graduate High School
Don’t Have a Substance Addiction
Don’t Have Children Out of a Committed Relationship
Now…which groups have difficulty with these simple things?

I bet if you asked those groups whether they faced racism in the US or were disadvantaged compared with white Americans, they'd say yes.
Propaganda is effective, comrade. You know what's racist? Diversity quotas in hiring. Journalists cheering about ending white people. Movies that portray whites as stereotypically stupid and dangerous. So I've faced racism, too.

Asians are being kept systematically out of top colleges, which is an example of systemic racism against Asians.
So are whites.

My question is how do African immigrants seem to do so much better than native born African-americans?

Exactly. I love that we've had decades of conscious discrimination against whites due directly to the Supreme Court and the case only shows up on the docket because it's Asians.

All you people ever do is bring up the facts.

Why are black folks fighting for $15/hr at McDonalds when the median income for their demographic is $17.50/hr somewhere else?

Nowhere near the extent that Asian-Americans are.
In fact, if Harvard's process was based on academics alone i.e. the lawsuit, 43% of Harvard's class would be Asian-American compared with 38% white.
Right now, Harvard's class is 40% white compared with 30% Asian. Harvard's white percentage would shrink if it were based on academics alone.
Furthermore, white Americans got a 140 SAT score boost compared with Asian Americans. How is that not giving white Americans a massive advantage compared with Asian-Americans?

The above graph is systemic racism when white Americans get a 140 point boost on the SAT for being white compared with Asians?

Looks to me like Whites got pretty big admissions boosts compared with Asian-Americans.
Compared to Asians:
Whites got a 140 point boost
Hispanics got a 270 point boost
African-Americans got a 450 point boost
That's systemic racism against Asians, not Whites if Whites are being boosted relative to Asians.
This was a study taken for top schools in the US.

Lemme go ahead and fix this chart for you to make it shoe the only stuff that anyone cares about...

Why do blacks deserve a 450 point boost?
Same for Hispanics.
Same for Hispanics.

You seem to be arguing with yourself here. I'm pretty sure no one here thinks anyone ought to be rewarded or penalized due to their skin color. Likewise, no one is arguing that Asians seem to be penalized the most.
That does not negate the fact that relative to Hispanics and Blacks, Whites and Asians are systematically penalized.
Unless this needs also needs to be a victimization contest?

This is like saying, Hispanics are disadvantaged compared with African-Americans.
If we're looking at advantage, we should be using the group that was disadvantaged the most as the baseline.
Therefore, if we can say that Whites and Asians are systematically penalized against Hispanics and Blacks, it's equally valid to say that Asians were systematically penalized compared with Hispanics, Blacks and Whites?

Nope.
But Harvard's own internal documents show that without affirmative action, white admits would shrink to 38% whereas Asian admits would rise to 43%.

So in Harvard's admissions process, whites would actually decrease as a percentage of the class which would suggest that they're not actually disadvantaged by affirmative action.

They don't.
I'm saying this is an example of systematic racism against Asians where they're having to score higher than Whites, African-Americans and Hispanics in the admissions process.
