This stereotype is even supported with statistical data, Asian Americans holding a higher median household income, $66,000, compared to the general population’s $49,800 (Pew Research Center). With a rise in Asian immigrants and the Asian American populace as a whole and how they are projected to be the largest minority group by 2055 (Cepeda), the U.S. economy seems to have a bright future ahead. However, the well-known fallacy of stereotypes is that they have their exceptions and also that statistics sometimes can be framed to skew the situation. Hunger and…

    he difference between race and ethnicity is that race is associated with biology whereas ethnicity is associated with culture. Race and ethnicity can obviously overlap, but they are distinct. For example, a bi-racial person would probably consider themselves as a member of a certain race, but, if they don't engage in any of the practices or customs of their ancestors, they might not identify with the ethnicity, but might instead consider themselves to be a member of their counterpart race. The United States is a unique country due to the convergence of multiple races within itself. Even though the people who live in the US bring with them their cultural identity from wherever they came from, it becomes influenced by American culture.…

Neighborhoods do indeed matter for individual outcomes both independently and beyond individual characteristics. There are many long term impacts on the intergenerational transmission of poverty and wealth; and most certainly crossing racial and ethnic lines. The “American Dream” is the idea that is the primary story of American Immigration; the proposal that steered much of the thrust for civil rights. It is also a suggestion that has been undeviating with the American’s perception of impartial and just treatment, as long as there is a universal option for advancement.…
