Yeah, let's ignore what policy politicians support and what they actually do and instead focus on random quotes taken out of context. Brainlet detected.
That's still a stupid fucking thing to say TBH. Plenty of "white trash" is living in ghettos and run-down neighbourhoods. Identity politics, not even once.

Hurr durr, identitiy politics bad. This is a VERY specific problem that African Americans have in the US due to the history of this country. >b...b...but treat them as individuals, you SJW! People in the real world aren't color blind. It just doesn't work that way.

1. Yes IDPol is bad. Glad you agree. 2. No it fucking isn't. Italians used to live in ghettos. The Irish used to live in slums. To this day, the majority of the poor are white and live in shit neighbourhoods. The main difference is that no one is investing this much time&energy

Asian Americans outperform european americans despite most of them having come here more recently and under significantly worse conditions. Explain that.

Under what significantly worse conditions? Most of them are immigrants and to come to the US as an immigrant you likely are already well of and have a degree. Same goes for Black immigrants. They thrive in the US because they weren't fucked by the history.
