Here’s a doozy in the theme of the racial wealth gap: households headed by white people who dropped out of high school have greater assets than those headed by blacks and Latinos with college degrees.

At Demos, where Matt Bruenig posted this graph, he writes:

The median white family with an education level below high school has a net worth of $51.3k, while the median black and hispanic family with a college degree has a net worth of $25.9k and $41k respectively.

You’re better off being a white high school dropout than a black or Latino college grad. Ouch.
