As a non-american, what makes me curious is why do black students borrow twice as much money as other groups. Do they choose more expensive degrees?

- pgcj_poster 7y agoBlack Americans are poorer than most other groups, and I suspect that they're less likely to get parental support paying for college.
- zrail 7y agoLet’s be very clear: Black Americans are poorer because of racist policies that kept them out of the huge post-WWII governmental benefit programs. Things like the GI bill and veteran home loans, and homeownership in general were white-only for many years, allowing that group to build generational wealth that continues to this day.
