Anecdotal evidence of successful minorities aside, looking at census data on poverty and race from 2002:
9.9% of whites below the poverty line
22.7% of blacks
10.2% of Asian/Pacific Islander
21.4% of Hispanic
Instead of trying to drag whites below the poverty level one should examine the culture of nonwork and government dependency that causes the high poverty stats among minorities. I work at a job where everyday I see able-bodied people who prefer to receive their pittance from the government than go out and work. For some reason the majority of these people are black women. Ending progressive tax systems and income transfer programs (that keep the poor impoverished) would go a long way towards improving equality. I know this sounds bad, but I say go work and cut down the number of illegitimate children. Don't breed ignorance and poverty.
