    Don’t forget people from India. They, as a group, have the highest incomes in the US.

    They're mentioned in the piece.

    I think the Indians and the Asians have one thing in common...Strong family structures that encourage performance in their children.

      Which brings us back to the crux of the article...How can you instill the myth of white privilege into a young black person, when other non-whites are doing so well?

      Is there such a thing as white adjacent?

          The problem is that they took away Oriental.

          Why?

          I don't know, I never thought Oriental was offensive in any way.

          Somehow it became offensive.

            What does oriental mean anyway? When I was in Chicago, I one time visited the University of Chicago. They have a museum called the "Oriental Institute" (or something like that). But it mostly has things from the Middle East.

                I think of the Orient as the Far East - Korea, Japan, China, Viet Nam, maybe as far south as Indonesia

                Apparently the meaning has changed over time

                  Yeah, I think of the Orient, I think of Budapest, Istanbul, et al.

                  When I think of Oriental, I think of Chinese, Japanese, Korean...

                  Obviously the word has changed and is a bit odd. It would be as weird as d as one body thinking of England when I say American...

                      It is getting to be the rare tv advertising that doesn't feature a person of color. A person without color seems to get used as half of an interracial couple.
