OK. So let's talk about this one. Because this is another comman white supremacist talking point
Asians wealthier than whites ?
Not really
When you look at the facts
What the white supremacist do is they look at median family income (The whole family as a whole) Which yes Asian Americans come out on top. This is in 2018:
- $61,000 Asian American
- $52,500 white
- $38,000 Latino
- $35,300 black
- $33,240 Native American
But when you change it to personal income
You get:
- $24,000 whites
- $23,000
- $22,000
- $21,000
- $20,000 Asian American
- $19,000
- $18,000
- $17,000
- $16,000 blacks
- $15,000 Native Americans
- $14,000 Latinos
Asian Americans come out on top of whites in median family income only because Asian families have by and large more people working.
So this was picked because it supports white ppls stereotype about Asians as successful, which in turn makes it seem like American society is not racist.
And let's break it down even more by nationality:
- $26,000 Japanese, Asian Indians
- $25,000
- $24,000 whites
- $23,000 Filipinos
- $22,000
- $21,000
- $20,000 Asian American, Chinese
- $19,000 Pacific Islanders
- $18,000
- $17,000
- $16,000 blacks, Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians
- $15,000 Native Americans
- $14,000 Latinos
Asian American covers too broader range.
Most who fled Indo-China after the Vietnam War and came to America with next to nothing are still at the bottom, making less than blacks on average. Even Korean Americans, despite their supposedly high IQs, have not clearly passed blacks, much less whites: they are the same as blacks in terms of median personal income ($16,300) and rate of home ownership
The silver bullet is NOT how well-educated Asian Americans are. After all, even in 1940s Japanese Americans were better educated than whites, but few whites would hire them – and, in fact, took their farms and shops and houses and sent them to prison camps. So education alone is hardly a good measure of how un-racist whites are towards Asian Americans.
The better rough measure is personal income when controlled for education. It would be best to do it at the state level since many Asian Americans live in places with a high cost of living, like California.
All non-whites in the United States are subject to racial discrimination in employment, and are denied white privilege. Not that I'm gonna fight Asian people's corner. Too many Asians are whitewashed and have anti black views themselves
