So race has nothing to do with it. Education and training are what determines the difference

The Chronicle has got some gall printing this article amid all the debate about illegal immigration.

Of course I'm not saying that all nonwhites are illegal aliens, but I'd guess that illegals are a significant factor in these statistics. This is a demonstration of what happens when you get illegals to do jobs Americans won't do.

Watch this socialist circle jerk of a city decree that every resident be granted a college degree as a matter of "fairness," and then fall back on the race card when that doesn't change anything.

They have a mild climate and the most generous benefits for homeless people in the country, if not the world. They're a magnet for dysfunction as a result, but nooo, that can't have anything to do with it. It's an incredibly expensive city in which to live, to the point that only the well-compensated and the subsidized remain, but nooo, that can't have anything to do with it.

Socialists always conflate cause and effect, and try to wave some magic wand to force the effect. It never has worked, and never will work, but they remain baffled and keep banging their heads on a brick wall, again and again and again.

From the title,

In S.F., minorities' wages lag even farther behind whites'

What about the women and children? This Lib headline writer's performance is slipping!

Ahh, I see...so if the minorities wages are lagging even further behind whites, then whites should stop making more money? Stop taking advantage of educational opportunites? Take the surplus of money that they make and turn it over to those "lagging even more behind"??

It's S.F. for crying out loud!! Give the minorities your money so it all balances out!!! Geeez! Do we gotta tell the liberals their own principles or what?

Minorities' wages lag whites' in part because they tend to have less education, Egan said.

A teacher friend of mine tells me that sometimes when black kids try to do homework, other black kids often belittle them as acting "too white". This must be an important factor in lower minority advancement in school. (Along with the "soft bigotry of low expectations" and too few two-parent households.)

Why aren't the "caring" liberal/socialist/Marxist educational elites willing to tackle, or even mention, this core issue of an anti-educational success subculture in which (apparently) some minorities hold other minorities back?

San Francisco's nonwhite residents make even less compared to whites than they do across the country, and middle-income jobs are vanishing here faster than the national average, a new study released by the city on Wednesday shows.

Education? Marriage? That's for white people.

Not really, it is the choices they make. For example, Maria Cesar does not speak English, and changes sheets at the local Motel 6, making $8/hr. Shaquille Jamal works at a gas station making $7.75/hr. Tanisha, Shaquille's sister is a gang-member and prostitute, her pimp pays her around $1000/month. Meanwhile Chiang Yu works in the Intel R&D department in Santa Clara making $145,000/year.

So who do you blame?

This story is nonsense. San Francisco is a very wealthy city. People come from all over the country and all over the world to take high-paying jobs in medicine, law, finance, computers, biotech, multimedia, management, advertising, etc. You can't afford a house, and you can't really afford to have children here unless you're making pretty big bucks. The professionals are predominantly white, just like everywhere else. San Francisco also has some housing projects and relatively poor neighborhoods. The people in these places are predominantly black and latino, with some asian and pacific islander folks as well. So on one side you have these high-paying professionals, and on the other side you have janitors, warehousemen, diswashers, etc., and unemployed. There are relatively few white people who move to S.F. these days without a college degree and a profession. The folks showing up from Mexico, Central America, and Asia, and those growing up in the projects don't have the education and the skills to get the good gigs. Race and racism have absolutely nothing to do with it.
