    It's very simple man. What is the main reason for the 1000% gap between the two median households and what is the most prominent popular answer given by GOP American voters?

    Apparently you know. You tell me.

    Then explain the racial/ethnic/gender wealth disparity in every other country in the world while you're at it.

    No you explain it. You aren't racist so I'm assuming it's an answer that doesn't involve blaming black people for their culture like the default answer of your standard GOP voter.

    Systemic inequities and years of prejudice/discrimination are hard to erase in a blink of an eye. That being said , from African Americans themselves it’s issues within the black community that perpetuate this. Asian American are actually the highest earners, on average.

    the problem is both you and who you’re debating are both on the extremes. The problems are both due to issues perpetuated that the black community needs to address as well as the predisposition to the issues due to what I mentioned above (that have been taking place for 2 centuries). Blaming everything on past racism isn’t the best way to move forward

    My parents immigrated from Asia. They were also the top .1% of the wealth from their country of origin and got in through American universities sponsoring them through student visas which only happens if you can afford the top private schools in my parents'country of origin.


    99.9% of people from my parents' country of origin are incapable of immigrating to the US.

    That is the story with the cast majority of Asian migration. 80% of Asians in America came after 1980 and they almost all came through a selection filter.


    And what ever "issues" you perceive of the black community is what we call "effects" of wealth inequality, not causes. If you can't get your basic causality right then what business do you have discussing this matter?


    Again, the default position of the GOP is that it's black culture's fault. Someone asked me show an example of white Americans being racist. Yes it's racist to believe that one race is 1000% more hard working and has more gumption than another race.

    Is there racism/prejudice based on ethnic or religious lines in your parents country of origin? Has that created wealth disparities? Did you parents benefit from that? What are yall doing to address that?

    So as someone that isn’t black or as a matter of fact not a member of any of the groups you loudmouth, why are you opening your mouth? Causality by that metric is soemthing you can really only tease out through means of logistic regression. Listen man, I get you want to sound smart and woke to attract friends but you sound very stupid, I don’t mean none—but at the least minimal offense by that. It’s super try hard and wannabe edgy. It reminds of the students I see regurgitating what they hear in class as opposed integrating real world context.


    You don’t have the grasp to be discussing the majority of the issues you are. I’ve said it before…poster boy for dunning Kruger my friend, we’re about 10 years out from you getting on the side of the curve to be debating equally

    in the mean time go back and read what I said, you should see if you responded to it or just got emotional because you went off on your bipolar tangent again

    I'm opening my mouth because I can. There is no pandering of wokeism or whatever hive mind brain rot junk food narratives you are spammed from your favorite YouTubers expert. These are my sincere thoughts and white supremacists have used the "model immigrant" of Asians talking point to make racist statements about "black culture" while ignoring the fact that we wouldn't allow 99.9 percent of the Asian population overseas to migrate here.
