Most people with an average IQ know that ethnicity and race are two separate things. Even the Census Bureau makes the distinction. It's just that people don't seem to pay any attention.
I perfectly know that, thank you !
But I don't have stats for hispanic whites from Cuba, hispanics blacks from Panama, Amerindian hispanics from Peru, Mestizo hispanics from Mexico or Zambo hispanics from Dominican Republic, so hispanic is fine because it's all we have.

Something's not accurate about those figures. In every study I've seen, Asians make higher average incomes than whites.
but they also have a higher poverty percentage and how family income is calculated could have an influence on that family number, as many Asian families are extended families in the same household. So, you might have multiple people making money in that type of family.
Ahaha no, you're mistaken
Hispanics are the largest minority group in the US, and it's pretty sad they're poorer than blacks for that.But it's because hispanics immigrants are mostly without high school diploma.US-born hispanics do well I know that !
However some Black people are leaving Cali .But it is an other debate
as far as i know blacks are leaving mainly the ghettos in cali , the thriving black areas still have their strong black population like Baldwin hills, and the other nice black areas around it.

Actually, it is per capita income. Asians make the highest of the 4 groups in these terms.
It could be that in some cities they are not higher than whites. Maybe that's why there's a variation in the city statistics in OP's link. And of course, all races are represented at every level.

I really don't see the big deal when Houston earns more on a per capita income basis in every single category except blacks in Atlanta. But otherwise, it just happens that Houston earns quite a bit more from Caucasians than it does in Atlanta and Dallas. This will sort of distort the data a little bit. Houston still outgrosses Atlanta and Dallas when it comes to Hispanics and Asians, while with Blacks its almost a wash, with the edge going to Atlanta.
