The figures from the United States Census appear to show that the Asian population has a mean income some 25 % above that of the so-called “white” population. That threatens, on the face of it, the category of Asian folk as “People of Color” who, just because of the color of their skin, are eligible for victim status. It may well be the case that the system discriminates against certain people, and in favor of others. It does not appear to do so to favor whites, particularly.
Update 20 September 2017: Here is a link to a resumé of the household income of Native Americans. Although my source doesn’t allow me to add it in graphic form, the link provided shows you that the Native American household income is about the same as African-Americans, at the 40,000-dollar/year level.
One of the consequences of envisioning the United States as an empire provides a perspective on the obvious disparity of outcomes available here. Different population groups are successful or not, depending upon the elite attitude toward their culture and mores, an attitude that will change constantly, since the elite has to adapt to changing circumstances and the balance of internal forces within a heterogeneous distribution of population groups.
The effort to provide a greater degree of equity would involve the reduction of the commitment by the United States to pretentions toward world domination. That’s a strong reason to put the anti-war movement in the top priority for the progressive movement: we can never, given the imperial structure of the polity, move toward fairness of opportunity until we surrender the mobilization for endless war; the historical example of the War on Poverty conducted at the same time as the Vietnam War ought to be enough to show that. Great efforts were mobilized to conduct both; neither succeeded.
We would also, as I hope the reader realizes, be well advised to regard different outcomes as to some degree inherent in our society. Putting aside the self-serving rhetorical commitment of our national culture to equal treatment, we progressives not only have not made a lot of progress toward that aim but have begun to acknowledge the complications facing our efforts.
