Well, to be fair, I said "more" not "everyone". Also, if it were true that people could be "self-made", we'd see a more diverse selection of "self-made" people

- filoleg 7y agoIf you think about diversity in terms of "races and genders", then I agree with you, there could be more of that. If you think in terms of financial upbringing, we got a lot of diversity going. US has an insane turnover in terms of wealth, with a really high number of first gen millionaires and billionaires. Also note the fact that 70% of families losing wealth just a generation or two down the road[0]. Which is imo a very good thing, as it brings more evidence and support for the "self-made" theory. In terms of social upbringing, just look at the numbers of top-tier CEOs and founders who are children of immigrants or immigrants themselves[1]. 0. https://money.com/rich-families-lose-wealth/ https://money.com/rich-families-lose-wealth/ 1. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/30/us-tech-companies-founded-by-immigrants-or-the-children-of-immigrants.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/30/us-tech-companies-founded-by...
