From ACT Rochester - Percentage of asian families living in a single parent household - 21%; white families 37%; Hispanic families - 58%; black families - 75%.
I will never forget the following sentence heard during Guardian Ad Litem training - "I do not believe any of you should be told this, but the law mandates you be told this during your training: "A child born out of wedlock, on average, sees their chances of success decreased by 50%.

Some of the kids in Palo Alto (where I used to work) have private tutors for every subject and go to the finest schools. Innate ability is almost irrelevant when you compare the scholastic record of these affluent kids to those in the ghetto.
Further, there are plenty of lazy, entitled, idiots from wealthy families. A good example is our president who's an imbecile and a buffoon. The ass-end of the Ivy League is notorious for letting you in the back door if you're rich, you're a high-school athlete, or your uncle Fred went there. Despite being filthy rich, Trump went to third-rate school (Fordham), most likely with average SAT scores. By transferring to Wharton mid-stream he wouldn't need to present SAT scores and his various schools have been threatened to keep his test scores private. I wonder why?
It's simple: wealth begets wealth and more important than coming from a two-parent household.
That is why you see immigrants opening stores and other businesses in black neighborhoods, and very few black businesses. Unfortunately you can't discuss these things because too many black 'leaders' and white liberals decry them as racist rhetoric. I don't see whites falling into this trap because non-liberal whites don't carry the amount of white guilt that white liberals do. Neither do I see white liberals falling into the trap because unlike white non-liberals, they don't view blacks as 'the lesser'.
I believe that immigrants open certain types of businesses because that is one of the few avenues available for people that have not yet assimilated, to earn a decent living, they mostly open small shops in under served neighborhoods, because that is where there is opportunity to make a living, most immigrants do not have the financial ability to compete with larger businesses that have better capitalization in expensive malls and the like.
As far as business ownership is concerned, that's a tougher nut to crack, my feeling is that not so many folks from any communities really have the means, the know how, and the opportunity to create a business that will give them the lifestyle and income that a mid level education, or occupational training, will offer. Most smaller businesses that are non-service are run by people that don't have better options. I don't really think that it's ethnicity that has a lot to do with the individual ownership.
Regarding everything else on this topic- people tend to be a product and a reflection of their communities. Someone from the ghetto is usually fucking ghetto. Someone from a rich delusional white people neighborhood tends to be a delusional rich white person. lmfao
Probably for the same reason Obama insists on keeping his academic records private. They would probably show he was an affirmative action baby of mediocre intellect, just as he sounds when he talks. The “smartest” president my ass.
Maybe you're talking about Obama's LSAT scores submitted to Harvard Law, which have never been released. Whatever his LSAT scores, Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review and graduated in the top 15% of his class. His speeches are terrific and well-crafted whereas Trump's Tweets and speeches are usually an embarrassing stream-of-consciousness mess with goofy spelling errors. Trump is an idiot and a buffoon.
OP isn't talking about wealthy people. You don't need to be in the top 1%, 5% or even 20% to have a good successful life.
