If I have a household that contains four working adults and you have a household that contains two, should we try to compare household incomes?
100%
Because maybe the one with the 4 has to pay for childcare and has more expenses. Thank you finally admitting we should review everything on a case by case basis vs. your racist group think.
Progress...
Does the four working adult household have to pay for childcare?
And why wouldn't the two working adult household have to pay for childcare?
Wouldn't it be better to just compare individual income to individual income, instead of household, which can vary greatly in size and composition?
No. Because I may take a job making less for a better work/life balance because I have little kids. You may take one making more because your wife is home and you are the only wage earner. Case by case basis. Stats can be misleading.
So then we should ignore your stats on Asian median household income?
I never said ignore. But we should not base our entire thought process based on group stats. Everyone in America has equal rights and some start with some advantage and others with some disadvantage. The rest is up to the the individual.
Every American has equal rights under the law, but not every American has to overcome implicit bias because of the color of their skin.
No but they have to overcome other obstacles:
- Learning disability
- Too short
- Too fat
- Poor parents
- Poor connections
- Allergies
- Anxiety
- Fear of public speaking
- Too ugly
- Too frekled
NO ONE starts out on equal footing. We all start out with equal rights and then become the best we can. I met on Friday with a gentleman originally from India. He has been here for 30 years. First generation. Multi millionaire, built his own business. Started with nothing. Equal rights and he grabbed the bull by the horn. Sometimes privileged kids just have less of a work ethic and that is their disadvantage.
The point isn't that people don't have to over come things. The point is that if you take any two random people in the same situation:
black person with learning disability/white person with learning disability
black poor person/white poor person
black anxious person/white anxious person
The white person has a built in societal advantage over the black person.
