However when you factor in their level of education, they're still making less than their white (male) peers. >One small, predominantly white upper class that wields a disproportionate share of money, power, and political influence" predominantly... Stop to consider the number of Asians in the U.S., now take the number of Asians that have a higher than average income than Whites. Now take the number of Whites who earn the same average income or greater than our Asian subgroup. You're not convinced that the group of relatively above average income earners is going to be predominantly white? You can look at the demographics in anything that you think qualifies people as upper class. Government, at the state or national level? Upper management at Fortune 500 companies? I mean pick anything and if you find any results that don't reflect predominantly white, and almost certainly predominantly white male I'll be shocked and pleasantly surprised that we've made that much progress. Your point only undermines Temin's narrative if you blithely ignore all the other information.
