In 2018, the median income for white households was $65,777. This is substantially higher than the worldwide median household income, which in 2013 was listed as hovering around just $10,000. Ask a conservative and they’ll point to this as evidence of how great and privileged it is to be an American. As anyone else and they’ll point to white privilege and systemic advantages.
No doubt, a median income of $65,000 affords a lot of opportunities. Even after accounting for taxes that siphon approximately 25% away from the principal, an average mortgage payment of $1,100 in 2020 and average monthly car payment of $350, there is still about $31,000 left for other expenses. It doesn’t offer a lavish lifestyle, but with proper budgeting and fiscal responsibility it’s not terrible either.
If there is even privilege to talk about trying to eke out a living with $65,000, that’s where the argument of inherent white benefits falls apart.
The extremes of the median household income chart tell a different, more complex story, than the simple yarn being spun by a despicable class of media and elite. If white skin were so important, why do those identifying as English-Americans come in at the 85th position on a list totaling just 98 ethnicities? Their median household income of $47,663. Moreover, their Scottish brethren to the north fare little better, garnering just $51,925 and placing 78th.
Where this data dive gets really interesting is that a group identifying as American-Americans, and who place just ahead of the Scottish-Americans at 77th on the list of median household incomes, earn just $51,601. They have both white and American privilege and can’t do better than Peruvian-Americans, who earn $52,000 annually as a household.

On the top of the list, and nuking the average median household income of everyone, are Indian-Americans. This subsection of the population boasts a median household income of $123,453. Second place isn’t even close, with just $102,328 going to Taiwanese-American households. Filipino-Americans are third with $92,328.
Sure, there are Australian-Americans and South African-Americans near the top, but doesn’t that even help disprove the notion of systemic racism here? American-Americans created this whole racist and inherently biased mess, and they barely earn half of what those foreign whites do. Some system they manipulated for themselves, right?
Ghanaian-Americans out-earn their white American peers with $66,571. Although not ahead of whites, not too far behind them either are Nigerian-Americans with $60,732 of median household income. Haitian-Americans, who come from a country that is repeatedly identified as one of the poorest countries in the entire Western Hemisphere and where 80% of its population lives in poverty, manages to earn a respectable $47,990. That’s one spot higher than the white English-Americans. That’s also 24 times higher than the median household income in their native land.
Astonishingly, despite other black populations thriving compared to their white neighbors, African-Americans earn just $33,500. Out of 98 ranked population groups, the only hyphenated nationalities below them are Iraqis, Dominicans, and Somalis. It is this figure that gets touted as proof that America was built on racism, is racist, and always be racist unless we fundamentally transform it.
Of course, the question should not be “Why do African-Americans earn so little” because we already know the answer. Fatherless homes, black urban culture that prioritizes vulgar music (which celebrates the abuse of drugs, alcohol, and women), sports, abysmal education statistics like reading skills and high school graduation, and the acceptance of a victimhood narrative all play a role in the population.
Once the question of “Why do black immigrants do so well?” becomes standard and we can again focus on positive traits such as hard work, no excuses, and prioritizing educational outcomes (African students comprise 40% of black Ivy League students), then the nation can begin tackling real issues.
The immigrants form Sub saharan Africa are the upper class creme de la creme and were going to do well in Africa anyway.. We are brain draining the 3rd world and putting our own IT workers and STEM worker in direct competition with the world. It is a downward wage spiral. Sucks to be an American STEM worker.
The United States Census has race and ethnicity as defined by the Office of Management and Budget in 1997.[1] The following median household income data are retrieved from American Community Survey 2018 1-year estimates. In this survey, the nationwide population was 327,167,439 and the median household income was US$ 61,937 in 2018.[2]

Stop all immigration for 40 years OR MORE!!!! It is unethical to drain desperately need talent from the 3rd work just to lower wages of Americans.
Are these upper class immigrants becoming American citizens and assimilating?
Statistics and damn statistics.
Particularly “Native American” statistics, with “average” six figure “household” income lumps “household” income from “tribal” groups with casino operations or solid natural resource developments with many Native Americans on the poorest reservations.
Everything is relative and it is the individual that matters most, not the group.
In every group there are those that beat the “averages” as well as those below the averages, even the averages for their “group”. That is no less true for “blacks” than any other “group”.
We have to quit talking about such “groups” with rates of interracial/inter-ethnic marriages now about 15% of the population and growing.
The Left and Democrats have profited politically from destruction of the American black family, and their political inculcation of anger and victimhood. Their gain has been the economic and social loss of traditional American blacks.
When blacks overwhelmingly drop of out school and do poorly in school you cannot compare them to other demographics that stay in school and do better in school.
What you are seeing in the falling incomes of whites is the result of government-enforced race preferences for minorities that are just anti-white racism.
The few Ethiopian immigrants whom I’ve met are grateful and here to kick ass for themselves. One new Kenyan friend I have, came here to Colorado and started a small African restaurant micro-chain that’s amazing, called the African Grille. Good to see certain folks crush it while too many native born just wither and take.
Yes an upper class black educated import from Ghana get preference over a white guy form Appalachia with a college degree.
Maybe you should move to Africa?
If by assimilating you mean then eventually become Democrats in overwhelming numbers, then yes.
Problem is-regression to the mean. And we get to inherit that.
The author makes some assumptions I’ll question. South Africans could very well be white. Iranians and Lebanese could be Christians. His overall point that hard work, education, and lifestyle create economic success are valid. The article also points out the American blacks are thorough LOSERS. That’s what happens after decades of Democratic mayors, governors, and some Presidents combined with family-undermining government handouts.
Yeah, I'm not wearing my "central_va" decoder ring today. Have you fallen short of your own life goals or something?
I can’t believe you’re getting hate for speaking the truth. The Ethiopians I know came here because the commies took over. They all studied hard, went to church (Orthodox) and became doctors and engineers, unlike native born blacks and a lot of hillbilly whites who sit around complaining instead of picking up a book or learning new marketable skills.
U.S. Assistance to Sub-Saharan Africa: An Overview May 20, 2020 R46368---State Dept Report
Overview. Congress authorizes, appropriates, and oversees U.S. assistance to sub-Saharan Africa (“Africa”), which received over a quarter of U.S. aid obligated in FY2018. Annual State Department- and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-administered assistance to Africa increased more than five-fold over the past two decades, primarily due to sizable increases in global health spending and more incremental growth in economic and security assistance.
State Department and USAID-administered assistance allocated to African countries from FY2019 appropriations totaled roughly $7.1 billion. This does not include considerable U.S. assistance provided to Africa via global accounts, such as emergency humanitarian aid and certain kinds of development, security, and health aid. The United States channels additional funds to Africa through multilateral bodies, such as the United Nations and World Bank.
Objectives and Delivery. Over the past decade, roughly 70-75% of annual U.S. aid to Africa has sought to address health challenges, notably relating to HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, and nutrition. Much of this assistance has been delivered via disease-specific initiatives, including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI).
Other U.S. aid programs seek to foster agricultural development and economic growth; strengthen peace and security; improve education access and social service delivery; bolster democracy, human rights, and good governance; support sustainable natural resource management; and address humanitarian needs. What impacts the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may have for the scale and orientation of U.S. assistance to Africa remains to be seen.
Aid to Africa during the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration has maintained many of its predecessors’ aid initiatives that focus wholly or largely on Africa, and has launched its own Africa-focused trade and investment initiative, known as Prosper Africa. At the same time, the Administration has proposed sharp reductions in U.S. assistance to Africa, in line with proposed cuts to foreign aid globally. It also has proposed funding account eliminations and consolidations that, if enacted, could have implications for U.S. aid to Africa. Congressional consideration of the Administration’s FY2021 budget request is underway; the Administration has requested $5.1 billion in aid for Africa, a 28% drop from FY2019 allocations.
Congress has not enacted similar proposed cuts in past appropriations measures.
Selected Considerations for Congress. Policymakers, analysts, and advocates continue to debate the value and effectiveness of U.S. assistance programs in Africa. Some Members of Congress have questioned whether sectoral allocations are adequately balanced given the broad scope of Africa’s needs and U.S. priorities in the region.
Concern also exists as to whether funding levels are commensurate with U.S. interests. Comprehensive regional- or country-level breakouts of U.S. assistance are not routinely made publicly available in budget documents, complicating estimates of U.S. aid to the region and congressional oversight of assistance programs.
In addition to authorizing and appropriating U.S. foreign assistance, Congress has shaped U.S. aid to Africa through legislation denying or placing conditions on certain kinds of assistance to countries whose governments fail to meet standards in, for instance, human rights, debt repayment, or trafficking in persons. Congress also has restricted certain kinds of security assistance to foreign security forces implicated in human rights abuses.
Some African countries periodically have been subject to other restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance, including country-specific provisions in annual aid appropriations measures restricting certain kinds of assistance. Congress may continue to debate the merits and effectiveness of such restrictions while overseeing their implementation.
