This is (in part) a consequence of the nature of bell curves:Notice the 100 line. Notice what percentage of each curve is to the right or left of that line. White people are better off (relatively) compared to blacks mainly because there is a lower percentage of whites left of 100. Even though the absolute number of poor whites is greater than the number of poor blacks, the poverty rates differ in large part due to a difference in cognitive ability. |
