Interesting chart!

I always thought that idiotic "Check your white privilege" thing was a bunch of bull hockey. Now I have proof!

And I have to say...apparently running a convenience store or gas station is quite lucrative. Look at who's number 1!

Note that Nigerians seem to have little problem making a living in America -- so apparently America is fair and "color blind" enough to people with black skin.

But American blacks -- the ones that have lived here for generations, who have adopted American black culture -- have issues for some reason, due to their culture (ghetto, drugs, lack of motivation, "ebonics" or poor English, high illegitimacy rate, etc.)

Note that the American blacks who don't fit that description ALSO don't seem to have problems earning a living either! There are plenty of blacks who go to college, don't take drugs, learn how to speak proper English, etc. ...aaaaaand they always earn a living just fine as well. Some of them even start businesses and so forth.

Before and after I saw this chart, my belief was that any people (culture) that has a problem making it in fair, open, "equal opportunity" America needs to look inward, blaming their own culture. Individuals can be exceptions, due to disabilities, background, upbringing, etc. But when a whole culture can't make it, there must be something wrong with that culture.

The idea that we're living in a white supremacy dystopia, where the president of the United States doubles as the Grand Master of the KKK, and all the police are southern, stereotypical "black haters", where a black person can only dream of succeeding but it will never happen, just doesn't ring true. I'm sorry.

I think those that talk about "white privilege" are a bunch of whiners.

In my experience, I've seen how my German-Irish family members without ambition, education, discipline, etc. fare just as poorly as the blacks without ambition, education, and discipline.

Interesting. Part of the reason why Indians earn so much more is because they overwhelmingly work in STEM fields and come here to do that (Master's degrees, PhDs, etc.). More white people need to get into these fields, IMO.

Not saying there is a consipiracy, but why would you trust the Census info for accuracy? Also, that's based on WAGES which doesn't include those who own their own business.

So why do all the other non-European ethnicities get their own distinctive categorizations while the predominate descendants of Europe are lumped together in a generic "white" classification?

Oh right race/color don't exist until they tell you it does.

Where do you think most of that technology comes from to begin with?

I'd take this with a grain of salt. To me, it confirms what I've seen and known all along, that anyone can make it in this country, no matter their race, language, education. I've seen it first hand, Indian and Mestizo Mexicans that are illiterate in Spanish and don't know a word of English, come to the USA and succeed. Same with Haitians.

There is no excuse for not succeeding here in the USA. However, it is getting harder every day because all the industries have been sent out of the country. HOWEVER, it is worse in all the the other countries of the world. Immigrants to all those other countries will never have the success they have here in the USA.

This is not legit because people from the Middle East & Portugal are considered Caucasian.

Well Alaric even amongst "white" groups you have different sub-races such as Germanic, Celt, Slav, Southern European, Semites and Hamites.

Well it definitely didn't come from the inferior Indians that's for sure. :wink:

The concept of white privilege was developed in Marxist universities like Harvard. The goal was to create social unrest and redistribute wealth. We already seen a certain amount of unrest with the Black Lives Matter movement. It's fairly common to see BLM supporters talk about white privilege. Leftists like chaos because it gives them power and it takes our eyes off a certain group that ends up with all the wealth.

I seriously was thinking of per cap when I saw "Indians" at the top.

They tend to live in multigenerational insular families. They also help their own first and profit from anyone else.

Not all and most aren't highly paid stem field. Just think of the stereotypical 7-11 owner. But you could bet that someone in their family owns that business.
