More single parent and low income households, kids have to leave school to find work to support their family.

id personally like the statistics to be spread over kids living in inner cities based on economic date for xyz school and rates of dropout etc vs that of suburban schools.

i have a feeling that the numbers get much closer to same when compared with people living within same communities, hispanic/more so african americans are more centralized within poorer neighborhoods.


I hate the "inner city" argument. If you live in a crappy area of an inner city you could very easily move to a crappy house in the country for the same price or cheaper and have a far lower crime rate and better schools.

You give up a lot of the conveniences though, like not needing a car, low commute time and cost, etc.

Sure, but I don't like when I hear parents raising kids talking about how dangerous it is if they aren't willing to take some inconvenience of time, if you assume they have a car. If they don't then yeah I guess I get it, but if you're taking mass transit daily, that's probably more expensive than owning a car anyways.

Right, that $100 UHaul tab is a real killer compared to creating a better lifetime for you and your kids.

Loss if support network, if you are renting those aren't in great supply in the country, if you're taking mass transit you can't just stop and get a car immediately, the barrier to transition is higher than some people can cross, and if you're single you probably had a family member watching your kid, there's a lot more to up heaving your family than you realize.

summary

>asians doing well has nothing to do with the emphasis on hard work and education in Asian culture
>admit asians were the lowest wage earners below blacks who were below whites at one point and struggled to find work
>asians closed the gap with whites in 40 years
>this happened because society became less racist towards asians, not because asians study/work hard
>the perception of asians changed magically making it easier for them to find work
>they were perceived as hard working folks who valued education
>but no, they aren't doing well because they worked/studied hard leading to society changing their perception of them leading to easier time finding work starting a cycle of improvement in the standard of living for asians
>they were doing well because society stopped being so racist against them
>implicit conclusion, if only we were less racist towards blacks they'd be doing well too, stop being racist!
