Black Americans are much poorer than White Americans, yet racial discrimination by the state, and by almost all private entities, has been illegal for over 40 years. Why are Black Americans still so poor, especially in comparison to Asian Americans, who often faced similar discrimination, often started from equally humble backgrounds, yet are comparatively richer? This mystery is compounded by the fact that Asian Americans often did not have the advantage of coming from backgrounds that emphasized Christianity or capitalism.
