    • Hmmm, I wonder why they chose to omit data from East Asians, and Chinese AmericansGnash
    • doesn't fit with the narrative of oppressive white man._niko

    • curious to see where arabs, Persians and of course Jewish people fit on this chart, probably around or above the asian level i'd imagine._niko
    • Maybe they just decided to represent the 3 races with the highest population (2 in the lower chart)

    • you want to see racial wealth inequality rampant in the US, have a look at the NBA lol_niko
    • Nope. They are clearly positing that race is a determining factor of income potential.Gnash
    • they are not positing that income potential is distributed by percentage of population by race.Gnash
    • That’s not to say race isn’t factor, but include them all if that is what they are trying to showGnash
    • lol, you know exactly what the people who made the graph intended?yuekit
    • mort is probably right, these are simply the three biggest demographic groups.yuekit
    • Also in terms of comparing groups, you have to look at the history. Asians are mostly recent immigrants where the highly educated came over.yuekit
    • Indians for instance do very well in the USA, but not exactly in India.yuekit
    • Fair enough. However I don't think any of these points negate the obvious takeaway here - that Black Americans get the shit end of the stick.mort_
    • Black people meanwhile were second class citizens on a legal basis within our parents lifetimes.yuekit
    • (was replying to Gnash there)mort_
    • yes, i know what they intended. Really, dude, you don't? lolGnash
    • I mean, basically graph and chart in USA media includes those three groups, it's not a conspiracy.yuekit
    • *basically everyyuekit
    • Asians aren’t that new to America, railways didn’t build themselves and Japanese internment camps weren’t filled with Mexicans lol._niko
    • San Francisco's Chinatown was established in 1848._niko
    • True there were some Asian immigrants going back a long time, but the vast majority arrived within the past few decades.yuekit
