I sure would like to see the actual numbers on "wealth" in Asian families in the US. They get educated. They marry. They work hard and save. They invest. They stay married. They own businesses. They take care of each other. They stay out of trouble. They stay drug-free.....Easy to understand.
I was in the mall today and overhearing a group of young asians sitting in an ice cream shop. They were chatting excitedly about what degrees they were going to get NEXT — which masters program, which school, etc. ... to some they may have sounded a little nerdy, but have no doubt they all will be very successful. To most of them, it is their life’s mission.
The other groups of kids, by contrast, are walking around in gangbangwear, pants a’ saggin’, combs out ‘da the ‘fros, looking like they were about to flashmob Macy’s ...
And you can probably say the same about whites relative to blacks and “Hispanics.”
I bet if we could sort for “culture” we’d find that “people who get educated, married, work hard, save, invest, look out after each other, and stay drug-free” have an even more significant wealth gap with groups who don’t practice such things, regardless of race.
