Per Washington Post:
Asian - 88%
White - 86%
Hispanic - 73%
Black - 69%

Why do Blacks and Hispanics have lower graduation rates compared to Asians and Whites?
Is it income based of parents?
Is it cultural?

Curious what this forum thinks.

Socioeconomics and a culture that doesn't place as much emphasis on excelling in academics.

It's a multifaceted problem. The left wants to pretend it's someone elses fault, the right calls them lazy but it's a bit of both.

> Wealthier families put more emphasis on higher education
> Whites/Asians are more wealthy overall

Also too many minorities blaming other people for their problems instead of just being a better person.

environment
which creates perception

and perception = your life

it's got nothing to do with intelligence, but the environment they grew up in and ideals that change what they expect of themselves, their dedication to something, freedom if thought and belief, etc etc etc.. intelligence isn't a single attribute but the sum of various attributes that are affected directly by the environment.

everyones lives are due to the environment each one of us live in and most importantly grew up in.

Those results are a direct reflection of races habits and lifestyle and beliefs.. rather than single individuals capabilities.
