What you're saying to me here sounds to be talking about culture as in clothing, language, food, music, hairstyles, etc. I find more modern efforts are probably going to yield much better effects on value of education, intellectualism and work ethics. And those are things like actual financial support and investment into better schooling for underprivileged neighborhoods, better access to loans, more access to paid for higher education programs, and yes, even things like accepting more people from those "cultures" into high paying jobs, and good graduate programs and schools, even if they aren't necessarily the top performers, as long as they still show the qualities needed to succeed. Otherwise you've got a chicken and egg problem, so you need to take the ones that show promise to be able to break out, and really give them that chance and help them doing so, that can break the cycle. I'm happy to adapt this to not a traditional notion of "race", there are white sub-culture like you say that suffer from these difficulties as well, and I think they'd need similar support. Tangentially, on the topic of "ice-cream", I think you're simplifying things. It's a well known issue where hiding your culture (as in the way you dress, talk, eat, joke, the music you listen too, etc.) when your culture is surrounded by negative bias, can be necessary for yourself to enter higher financial spheres. Being called an ice-cream doesn't mean that the person was a cop out because they have a good job or make good money, it generally means that they adopted actual white cultural norms, as in, clothing, hairstyles, accent, behaviors, etc. And not as-in, honesty, hard working, and intellectualism.
