Why are Jews and Asians doing better than whites if it simply comes down to white supremacy? Why do African immigrants do better than whites? Indians generally have darker skin that whites, don't they? Why is the government letting in so many non-white people to the point where whites are going to no longer by the majority? Not everything comes down to white supremacy. Yes, the rich get richer and the poor stay poor, but not everything comes down to skin colour. Does the government care about black people? Nope, but I don't think it's as simple as calling everything white supremacy.Why do immigrants do better than native-born white people? The answer is shockingly simple: selection bias. If prospective immigrants who are already doing damn well have a higher chance of getting into America than those who aren’t, it really skews the results when we’re comparing them with native-born white people. If you’re a native-born white person, literally all you have to do is be born here and you’re automatically part of the group.
And for why Asians do so well, it’s a bit more complicated, but it can still be explained within the framework of systemic racism.
Also, is there a reason Jewish people don’t count as white in your framework? Are there any other groups that are generally perceived as white that you don’t consider so, perhaps Irishmen or Italians?
