I can understand Pakistani beating white Americans. With all three wives working at the cash till. But philipinos?

^^^Here’s a latest (2023–2024) disaggregated look at median household income by detailed Asian ethnic groups — the closest publicly-reported breakdown that matches the style of the older chart. It’s not a chart image but these are current, comparable figures from Pew Research Center and U.S. Census-derived data that researchers are using for 2023 ACS median income by Asian origin:

Median Household Income by Asian Ethnic Group (2023, U.S. Households)


Indian-American – $151,200 (highest among Asian groups)
Taiwanese-American – $133,300
Asian-American overall (aggregate) – $105,600
(From Pew Research Center -)

(Other groups from Wikipedia ACS tabulations – 2022 ACS basis):
Wikipedia
Filipino – about $109,090
Pakistani – about $106,281
Chinese – about $101,728
Sri Lankan – about $96,641
Japanese – about $94,319
Nepalese – about $92,262
Korean – about $91,261
Hmong – about $88,572
Vietnamese – about $84,572
Bangladeshi – about $80,288
Laotian – about $78,551
Burmese – about $69,281

The first three numbers above (Indian, Taiwanese, and the overall Asian median) are from updated Pew
The rest come from public data compilations of detailed ACS ethnicity estimates (most recently aggregated from Wikipedia using ACS 2022 figures).
Asian households: $112,800 (highest)
Non-Hispanic White households: $89,050
Hispanic households (any race): $65,540
Black or African American households: $56,490
Overall U.S. median household income (all races): $80,610
About $83,730 overall in 2024 (not statistically different from 2023).

"...a future 'contest for second place' between America and India in overall national power and economic size is entirely possible."

There is a very "mature" way of looking at Trump within here. Also good exposition of India's positions.


This video was originally published by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

India has become a key player in global affairs, maintaining relationships with superpowers and regional partners alike.

Following September's high-profile China-Russia-India meeting, how is New Delhi balancing relationships with Washington, Beijing, and Moscow while pursuing strategic autonomy?

What do these diplomatic engagements signal about India's long-term strategy?

What are the opportunities and challenges of India's approach, and how might it evolve?

Join us for a conversation with Samir Saran and Leslie Vinjamuri as they discuss India's foreign policy strategy and its global implications.

Speakers:

Dr. Leslie Vinjamuri, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chicago Council on Global Affairs

Dr. Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), New Delhi, India

The article was an interesting read. It summarizes India’s predicament very well. BUT it remains a Chinese POV and on an overdrive to drive the narrative of the Indo-US schism. And for bonus provides an insight of Chinese self-aggrandizement where they fancy China on top, and others fighting for the second and third.

PS: Next year will be difficult (physical safety) for people of Indian origin and places of worship in the US.
