That assumption holds for most of the population in European countries, even the poorest ones. In fact it's common for young people to live with their parents a long time.
One has to be either dirt poor or very unlucky not to he able to move back with relatives. This sound like an excuse.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 6y agoThe median wealth of African American households in the U.S. is $35k, vs. $150k for white households. Yes - most people might be able to move back in with relatives, but among those people who can't, minorities are almost certainly going to be overrepresented, which was OP's point.
- golemiprague 6y agoWhat it got to do with household income? there are whole countries where the average income is lower than that and people stay with their parents. If you lived with your parents before why wouldn't you be able to live again after some financial disaster? If anything it is the opposite, as an adult you can contribute to the household income. Tired of those black people excuses, the reason they are not represented is not because they can't go back to their parents, it is the same reason they are not also regularly represented in tech companies as employees, because they never bothered to learn anything technical. Unlike slightly less black Indians with lower median household wealth to start with and much less chances to hook with someone in Tinder in the US, which is the real pure racism nobody talks about.
- blub 6y agoThe world's quite bigger than the US and its particularities don't apply in most other countries.
