Might be a difficult concept for you, but two things can be true at once, Indian immigrants tend to have more education than Hispanic immigrants, and both are more likely to have more family members than just a nuclear family living together, than non-hispanic white peopleHispanic households are shown to be larger than Asian households, yet they have lower median incomes than Asian households. So this graphic is most likely reflecting the fact that white people tend to have less kids than immigrants. Which is very true.
Income is directly proportional to education. Indian immigrants tend to be better educated, have higher education levels and therefore higher incomes. Multi-generational households may have an impact, but it is less common, than most Indian immigrants being better educated and having better jobs that pay well. Education is the key.
Indian migrants to US better educated, have higher incomes than others: study
On average, households headed by an Indian immigrant had a median annual income of $150,000 in 2021, compared to $70,000 for all immigrant- and native-led households, the study, made public earlier this month, showed. In 2021, Indian immigrants were less likely to be in poverty (5%) than...economictimes.indiatimes.com
Do you believe in privilege? White privilege, etc?
- Thread starter Jenesis
- Start date
It's not because it still shows white people being the ones in total who have smaller households.
The point being, measuring household income without more information is useless and those numbers can't be compared because they aren't equivalent unless each house has the same number of related adults.
But racists love numerical fallacies.
Anywho, It's my opinion that any nationality can be successful in life, so long as you work hard and you stay positive.
And also stop blaming other people for your failures

I am sorry to disappoint you but you have reading disability of reading statistic. Your argument doesn’t support the statistic you posted. But that’s ok.
Yeah. My mistake and I sincerely apologies for that.
However if I had been on other board (not such kind like this one) ppl who were reading my argument and post would have understood that my typos, spelling mistakes and to go beyond “the vocabulary” is a comprehension test for those who are receiving my message. But yeah I am not dealing with such kind. Right?
Couldn’t agree more! That’s the essential. Race, caste, religion and nationality has nothing to do with success.
However the way success has been defined in today’s world is questionable. Everyone wants to millionaire in a quick time and want to retire immediately. Problem is the definition of being successful. Not the ppl S ppl follow what’s has been given to them.
I just needed you to Google the word before I let you know that you are in fact the innumerate one if you think you can compare household earning without knowing the number of adults in each household.
Google dependent on ppl who knows how statistic works. Which get more into more and more AI. Right from generative ai to deep blah blah blah I don’t want to sahare more but to be honest statistics are consumer driven and we show what you want to see. When I say you( it’s ~number of ppl) we leave disclaimer that data is subject to interpretation depending blah blah and blah.
Not sure why I am not explaining this to you but all survey and data collection is more of consumer in mind.
Being white and attractive is a privilege that makes life easier in day to day interactions.
The big picture will always be the “content of your character” as MLK said. Once people know you, skin colour, gender and race are unimportant.

Your 'example' of privilege only covers getting women?
Here's something someone once said to me about white privilege:
'The best part of white privilege is never having to actually know or acknowledge that privilege'.
Of course. This is an escort review board. Someone has to only care about wet dicks.
Every white guy here saying there is no privilege would never admit they are glad they were born white over black but we all know the truth.
Thankfully the poll shows that most people get it. It is not just about race privilege but all types. Gender, sex orientation, economic, geographic, etc

There is also something called "pretty privilege".
Skinny girls who are pretty tend to get favourable treatment over girls who are fat and ugly
‘Pretty privilege’: attractive people considered more trustworthy, research confirms
When presented with ID photos, those rated as more attractive were also deemed to be more trustworthy. Benefitting from good looks oneself doesn’t protect against being fooled.

And, playing the perpetual victim/woe is me card will assuredly lead to an unsatisfactory life.
Stating privilege is so pointless. What does it achieve? All it does is give people something to moan about and point the finger at a certain group of people. Oooooh You’re prettier than me…..you have more money…. It’s all kindergarten shit.
Why are you quoting me? I did put “etc” in statement.There is also something called "pretty privilege".

Love how you can admit to pretty privilege but not white privilege. LMAO.
I needed a good laugh this morning Philly. Thanks for that.
I was born a white male in arguably the best country going, Canada. I`m retired for 8 years now. I worked a physically demanding job(s) for 45 years straight including at least a decade of 2 to 3 jobs at once, as finances dictated. I never once was unemployed and never took a dime from the government in assistance. Hard work provided me a good life and an abundant retirement,...white privilege? I`ll call it hard work and planning.
Except you don’t realize that you may have been given that job 45 years ago because you are white. Giving you the opportunity to work hard.
I’m young. Semi-retired by choice. I would get bored otherwise. Owned my own business since my 20s. Worked hard all my life. I started as a homeless teen. I can admit I most likely would not have been given the opportunities to better my situation at that young age if not for the fact that I was white.
But you believe what you want. Others will believe differently and the majority clearly do.
BTW - your hard work doesn’t get diminished because of white privilege. You are not required to feel guilty about it. Nothing like that. It is just recognizing it and trying to ensure you don’t fall victim to your own bias when giving opportunity to others going forward.
Your failure to read posts properly shows again.
I did admit it exists: https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/do-you-believe-in-privilege-white-privilege-etc.755095/post-7166961
I also said that other races can be successful in spite of this
You make one comment in one post and then 20+ other posts with examples and claims that differ, so what is one to think?
It is clear from your post that you don’t truly believe in it. That is what most of your posts read like. Want people to believe your one statement, then prove it with the rest of them.
Bottomline - I don’t believe your one post. More likely you made that one comment so when someone calls you out, you have a fallback. Like having that one black friend. LOL.
