The mainstream media are every interesting creatures. Whenever a newspaper – New York Times, Wall Street Journal or USA Today – publishes a story about minorities being held down, discriminated against or failing to keep up with their white counterparts, the articles always tends to omit one specific group from this term.
Columnists and journalists churn out pieces that only include blacks and Hispanics in that term “minority.” It fits their narrative as to how capitalism has held down minorities by keeping them impoverished and uneducated and, thus, can’t relish in the American dream.
The numbers are indeed alarming for blacks and Hispanics – of course, we can thank the government education system as well as a number of other economic factors, like the minimum wage. But what about another minority? That’s right, these media outlets never include Asians into the term minority.
Asians, whether they’re from the east or the south, are hardly ever partnered with the minority term. Why? Because they’re successful. They’re successful in the business world, they’re successful in the education system and they’re even successful in the family life (to them, money, education and family are all wrapped together).
It just goes to show that there isn’t a monolithic group that wants to suppress minorities. It’s as simple as work ethic, the family nucleus and priorities.
The chart below is rather compelling. It takes a look at enrollment ratios in some of the top universities in the United States today. You will notice that the most dominant enrollees are Jews and Asians. From Harvard to Yale, these two demographics are taking over campuses, and why not? They’re highly capable.
