You might be right that the Hispanics work the hardest, even harder than the Koreans and the Chinese. I say that because the people doing manual labor at Chinese restaurants and Korean grocery stores are all Hispanics. I ask myself, if these Asians are so smart, why are they running grocery stores and restaurants and dry cleaners? I already know the answer, because they make a lot of money. But then why does it matter how good they were in math? You don't need to know derivatives to run a grocery store or a beauty parlor. They make their kids work hard to get ahead, and then the kids get good jobs with the Post Office and the Federal government and they go to medical school. That's what I see. $200K incomes max, probably more like $100K. Not bad but not the American dream. The American dream seems to be all the way to 25,000 sq. feet house! 8,000 sq. feet are just normal anymore. God help the people who live in the houses with only 1500 sq feet. They have to tear off their roofs and build bigger, or feel ashamed. Mama and Papa that have the stores, they are the ones who rake in the cash, and if you don't tell Uncle Sam how much cash you make there's no way he can find out. Not sure whether Mama and Papa with the store want an 8,000 sq. foot house. This is, after all, America.
