December 12th, 2014 The Dallas Morning News reprinted an article from The New York times and titled it “Wealth gap widens between whites and minorities.”

The article used graphs from the Pew Research Center.  The graphs illustrated the wealth gap between “whites,” “blacks,” and “Hispanics.”  The implication in the article was of course this is due to racist America.  Really?  

The article did not explore that perhaps behavior is a major contributing factor in this gap.  Blacks have the lowest high school graduation rates among the three groups while whites have the highest.  Among the three groups blacks have the highest out of wedlock births while whites have the lowest.  

It is curious to note the graphs omitted Asians.  Why?  Because had they included Asians it would have dispelled the implied racist label for “whites.”  Asians have the highest incomes, highest high school graduation rates, and lowest out of wedlock births.  Due to the Asians positive behaviors they enjoy the highest wealth according to the Pew Research Center. 

The wealth gap in America has nothing to do with racism but purely based upon behavior.  The racists in this article are The New York Times and The Dallas Morning News for omitting Asians in their reporting and doctored graphs.

College graduation rates:
65% - Asians
59% - Whites
47% - Hispanics
40% - blacks

Out of wedlock births:
16% - Asians
34% - Whites
46% - Hispanics
77% - Blacks

Average SAT scores:
1083 – Asians
1063 – Whites
0921 – Hispanics
0857 – Blacks
