if you insist that whites are to blame for black americans' socioeconomic failures then you must give white americans the credit for the Asian americans' successes. Asian americans would be insulted if it was assumed they didn't earn their own success. why do some blacks insist they don't own their own failures?

Why do people keep bringing up Asians? The majority of Asians in America are at most second generation. The majority of whites are at least 7 generations. The majority of blacks are at least 8 generations. It's best to compare groups who have been in America the longest....and that is Native Americans, Blacks and then whites.

There have been Asians on the west coast (and other areas) since the mid-19th century. There were legislative efforts to banish them entirely. They had to carry special paperwork, and did not generally obtain citizenship and voting rights until well into the 20th century. Blacks got citizenship with the passage of the 14th Amendment, IIRC around 1868. In some ways Asians were more mal-treated than blacks. And they are still being discriminated against in college admissions, in 2019!

If you're white, you only have yourself to blame.

You need to read better. Like I don't know that Asians have been in America for hundreds of years. My point, again, is that the average Asian is not more than 2 generation Americans. The data on Asians in America is born from those 1st and 2nd generation Asians. The Asians that were here centuries ago have been intermarried with whites, more than likely, kind of like many Native Americans and their blood quantum.

I agree with you on eggs.
Dude. Get a Costco membership.

Supplement that with Aldi. (or make this step 1)

As a last resort, buy from a grocery store.

You'll cut your food bill in half.

P.S. Costco has tons of other stuff like clothes, housewares etc. so you can recoup your membership fee outside of just groceries, but again, if not...aldis...aldis...aldis...
