Answer 1

Maybe they work harder, Maybe they rake education seriously,  Maybe they don't wait for socialists to care for them

Answer 2

White people belong here and Indians. The rest should do the right thing and leave.

Answer 3

Because we have jobs not benefits?

Answer 4

why? because we don't think we should depend on other people, not all, to take care of us. Because we don't hold grudges like others do(not all). And we're more forgiving, in most respects.

We, asians and whites, have learned to move on and forgive and forget. Because, truthfully, life is too short.

Do you know any white or asian person nowadays going on and on about how someone took something away from us and didn't give back until a revolution or civil war happened? And how unfair it was?

No, you don't. Why? Because it happened over fifty or even hundreds of years ago. Maybe even thousands. But some(not all) people talk about it like it happened yesterday. Most of those people weren't even alive during that time period.

Asians and whites let go and move on while others, NOT ALL mind you, won't let go.  

Answer 5

Maybe it due to respect and self responsibility for themselves.

I know I will work for what I want and do not want anyone to give me anything, Motivation to better oneself also helps.

Answer 6

Placing more emphasis on education, careers and earning a living.

Smaller and more affordable families.  

Answer 7

they save their money

Answer 8

I think a great deal of hispanic people come friend parents who immigrated to make money, so they are starting off poor because they came from a country with money that is worth half of the American currency.  The African-American people have been forced to live in inner-city conditions, and unfortunately have developed this mentality of "I'm not going to work for the man, the world owes me," etc. mentality.  In this day and age, it's hard to get a good job without college, regardless of skill.  Even if you are better than the next guy who did go to college and you didn't, they will pick him over you.

Answer 9

Because blacks are discriminated against.

Also, Asians are also discriminated against for the same level of education. If you compare the asian population and the white population, the white population on average makes more for the same level of education. This is also  

Answer 10

They work harder?

Answer 11

There are 5 factors to poverty, worldwide and they are as follows:

1. Lack of Education

2. Lack of Faith Structure and Family Structure

3. Drugs and Alcohol

4. Diseases and Defect

5. Apathy

Answer 12

Whites and Asians also have their share of poor people but I think the rate is not as high in these groups because they don't tend to have children they can't afford.

Answer 13

More likely to be educated, have stronger work values, choose to be responsible with money and choose to have smaller families (that they can afford).  

Answer 14

People who graduate high school and don't have kids until they are married and have a job, no matter what race they are, do better than those who do not.

Some communities do this more than others.  but pointing it out is deemed "racist" by those who think the only solution is affirmative action, which discriminates AGAINST asians as well as whites.

FDR locked up 100,000 Americans for being Japanese, only 65 years ago.  Yet they are somehow deemed not discriminated against, while Hispanics who have everything re-printed in their language automatically are.

Something is very wrong here.

Answer 15

Poverty breeds poverty and when you start out with very little, it is a lot harder to gain ground.  

Answer 16

cuz da bro tinks dat da white boy owes dem for slavry.  so da white mans govment shood takes care of da black man  

Answer 17

It's that silver spoon we were born with ( sarcasm inserted there )

Differing attitudes towards things like education and retirement issues. No sarcasm there.  

Answer 18

Because your little KidsData chart says so!

Kids Data?........LOL

Answer 19

If you look at it in an educational point of perspective, whites and Asians seem to be rated higher in this area.  Which, in most case, means more security and more money.

Answer 20

thats not true there are rich poor and midle calss ppl in every ethnicity but latino are new to america and are still discriminated against while african americans were also discriminated against

Answer 21

Tough question. It might just be work ethic or an underlying problem more associated with racism. Who knows anything these days man.

Answer 22

Whites and asians seem to be the most educated. When you look in universities you will see most white and asian students. In a medical college where my friend went I think the students were 65 % asian.

Answer 23

Family values is my best guess. Some pressure to become educated, work a little harder and assume responsibility. To some this comes naturally but to the vast majority it must be drilled in by way of constant reminders. Setting a good example doesn't hurt either. Not seeking an easy way out and not feeling entitled goes a long way too. If a natural ability is lacking then hard work becomes necessary-if this is ignored then one becomes a victim of circumstance.  I'm pretty sure that its' that simple.

Answer 24

there are more white and asian doctors than any other groups

Answer 25

Maybe they work harder?
