The funny thing is that the answer to this in the article itself:
1. The measurement they're using is
median household income. Not Individual wages or singular incomes.
What they forgot to touch upon is that many hispanic families have many people living in one household. So if more people are working, then they'll have a higher net household income. As opposed to African American household were one person may be working to bring 38k. (
38k aint shyt )
2. There's a glass ceiling. Over time the main reason why other previously marginalized groups in America are able to succeed and make better gains than african americans in society is because employers, lenders, and institutions in general become less "racist" towards them over time, while keeping their foots on our neck and denying us the same privilege. I'm surprised the sociologist in the article never touched upon this. Funny how the article subtly does describe Hispanics being marginalized though :
Gee wiz so they face discrimination, yet african americans don't.
I bet I could tear that peer reviewed article up, if I looked at it....
oh yeah and
