Quit looking at race and start looking at culture, which is what really drives success and failure. That's the major shortcoming behind the whole 'white privilege' meme, this video, and these posts. Judge someone by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. What you are describing are cultural attributes that are conducive to financial planning and educational attainment, not a systematic framework of oppression meant to keep whites in power and hold the brown man down.
I mean, let's start talking about Asian privilege. They do better than whites at all these things.

A lot of people are way ahead of you on that one.
It's not that blacks are stupider than whites. It's that ghetto culture they have (which makes them stupider than whites). Once they start acting like white people (the superior way to act) things will be fine. There isn't widespread racism anymore -- its just a bunch of people not taking responsibility for themselves. So when you see someone acting black -- don't feel guilty for thinking there stupid -- they are. And it's their stupid culture's fault.
A lot of this shit about Asain kids is true..but taken a little far. Just because its possible that culture can play into student success -- doesn't mean its the best way to understand the differences in student success. Asain kids come from 2 parent households that stress academics their whole life often....should that be every household in America? Is that the standard that were all failures for not meeting?
One of the big reasons Asians do better is because their parent are way more likely to completely support them financially throughout the endeavor. They also have a habit of being the son of a middle class people from their country that are only classified as poor because they just got here. A lot of Asians here didn't come from the bottom of their societies, they came from the middle and are ambitious.
