In this case, it just doesn't stand up to facts. Yes, Asians have greater income disparity, because the top 1% of Asians are way at the top 1%. According to the U.S. Census (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/historical-income-households.html https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p...) in every single year, Asians have out-incomed White and all-race averages in the 20th, 40th, 60th, 80th, and 95th percentiles.
That's a pretty compelling picture of "Asians make more money than whites," full stop.
