US household income by ethnic group. What an eye opener, yet it’s not surprising.

That's a pretty amazing graph, assuming it is accurate, too.
The question I would like to answer is what percent of spending by each ethnic group is spent at a business that is owned by someone of the same ethnic background?
My hunch (just my personal opinion, in other words) is that whites seem to have melted the most in this pot and spend on whatever from whomever, whereas other ethnic groups keep more of their spending within their own ethnic group. It's a hypothesis based on my travels. And, there's nothing wrong with that!!
This chart sure puts a new perspective on the white privilege bullshit. Where's my appropriation as a white man who is now suffering because of all of these other ethnic groups doing better than me? Sarcasm, of course.
I agree with your position. I've seen it a lot. Some would call it racism, other times its out of convenience and community.
And it's too bad that some think of it as racism. There is nothing wrong with a Little Italy, or a Chinatown, etc. There is nothing racist about loving your culture.
Depending on exact region of origin, some of these places still hold an anti-American sentiment.
True. And that is a different type of challenge. It is not racism.
I’ve seen areas taken over by different ethnic groups. They drove the white businessmen out because they would only do business with their chosen ethnicity. This was 20+ years ago.
I went to a Indian grocery store nearby my usual one as an Indian coworker told me that they have better and cheaper produce than the other stores in the area. I must have been one of only a dozen non-Indians in the entire building. Strangely though if I go to the Mexican grocery store near my house there's almost more whites than Latinos in there, then again since there's a lot more light-skinned Latinos than Hollywood portrays it's easy for them to be mistaken for dark haired whites.
This could be! I'm married to a Hispanic man and our kids skin color is in between our skin color. I'm very white and my husband is brown but in the summer he can tan darker. Same with our kids, they become pretty pale during the winter months and when summer comes, they just tan, don't really get sun burn, if they do by the next day it's gone and have a tan. I just burn then freckle up, lol. All 3 of the kids have dark brown hair, I use to have a lighter-dark brown hair (now just grey), husband had very dark brown - black hair (now salt and pepper). People always wonder though, what nationality they are. Our kids think it's funny, because no one ever guesses that they are part Puerto Rican, lol. I think it's because their hair is dark and they aren't quite "brown".
Oddly enough, of the 3 of us in our household, all being different ethnic groups. (White, Hispanic, and Filipino) All three of our incomes match up almost perfectly, and maybe off by just a couple thousand at most of each. So it's strangely accurate at least in terms of our personal situation.
