I completely agree the picture skews when you go past race. That’s true of every “race”. If I remember correctly, whites in Appalachia are poorer than the average black American. If you look at religion, white Baptists are much, much poorer than white Episcopalians and Jews. I find many measures more useful than race. Religious heritage is tells us much more about a person’s class background than race does.
