A family, for example, that has bad money habits, is likely to set their children up for money failure as well. A family that has good morals is likely to set their children up to have good morals. It's the same for cultures. If the smaller, supposedly weaker, less resourceful and less intelligent group were able to get the upper hand....I mean how could they if they were less intelligent and less resourceful. This sounds like nonsense to me.

I just found this to be amusing because you pretty much would have answered your own question if you the mental faculties to not take things at face value. The family can set their children up for monetary success (i.e. trust fund), but that does not mean the child is intelligent and resourceful. Hence, a potentially less resourceful and less intelligent individual is able to acquire more money than a more resourceful and more intelligent individual who wasn't born into the right family.

Referring to US history, the predominant deaths against Native Americans wasn't a result of warfare but because of smallpox, which you ancestors gave in blankets to the true Americans as a form of "goodwill". That's how luck and heavy manipulation allowed for colonization of the United States.

My wife is Asian. She came from The Philippines 7 years ago. She has a job where she's well respected and has rapidly been promoted over her white "peers" etc. I'm having a hard time seeing this oppression based upon her experience. Obviously it's anecdotal. But everything you've said is anecdotal because you decided not to use any statistics or anything else.

I started laughing at this.

You mean to tell me that the company your wife works for has white employees who are so useless that an increased risk in miscommunication, a lack of exposure and in-depth understanding of US market, lack of American education, lack of innate American cultural upbringing, and a lack of contacts still outweighs the promoting another white employee.

Please tell me the company's name so I can short their stock.

Wait, I honest don't think the company is even capable of becoming public.

I mean, I've had a boss who was black before. And no matter how much I worked in that company, I couldn't move up to his level even when there were similar positions open. Does that mean that blacks were keeping whites down? Or does it mean that I wasn't good enough?

Oh, it DEFINITELY means you weren't good enough, because statistically speaking, it is harder for a black person to be promoted over whites despite equivalent qualifications. Harvard Business Review. It means that you were so incompetent that despite statistical advantage in career advancement, you failed to do so. The fact that you failed to account established longitudinal practice patterns demonstrates your lack of analytical capabilities. The question isn't whether or not you didn't get promoted, but why weren't you fired?
