For example, non-white citizens in the United States have higher poverty rates than native-born citizens. This suggests that both black and other minorities, such as Hispanic immigration enter the U.S. with significant financial vulnerabilities. The social conflict between Black Americans and the native born (Caucasians) or between rich and poor is strong. Racism in American society has featured heavily in media coverage putting a strain on the relationships of other ethnic groups. However, when Corey, Fok & Payne (2014) conducted a questionnaire they found that the “raw score ratings were analyzed, nationality and cultural values had no impact on conflict handling style.” In my opinion, I concur that culture has no factor with handling society conflicts. This is especially true of Black Americans immigrants. The poverty rate for this population was 24.7 percent in 2000. 26.6 percent of Hispanics and 9.9 percent for whites. Of course, blacks made up a much greater proportion (25 percent) of native-born residents that year, and white immigration stream in recent years has consisted of Hispanic immigrants who experience almost an unusually high rate of
