(评论)黑人不再是美国贫富分化最严重的族群 [美国媒体]

America's income inequality is widening,and there's one group that's experiencing its impact more than any other:Asian-Americans.

美国的收入不平等正在扩大，而亚裔美国人是其中情况最严重的。



Asian-Americans have displaced blacks as the most economically divided racial group in the country,according to a new study from the Pew Research Center, which based its analysison data from the U.S. Census Bureau from 1970 to 2016.

皮尤研究中心的一项新研究显示，亚裔美国人取代黑人成为该国经济最分化的群体。该研究基于美国人口普查局对1970到2016的数据进行分析。

Income inequality has transformed America,with economists such as Stanford University's Raj Chetty finding that the country is losing out on generations of innovators and
achievers because torising inequality.

收入不平等改变了美国，斯坦福大学的经济学家拉吉•切蒂发现，由于不断加剧的收入不平等，这个国家正在失去一代又一代的创新者和成功者。

The widening gap between rich and poor Asians is due to a number of  factors, with immigration playing a key role, Pewsaid.

皮尤研究称，亚裔贫富差距的扩大是由多种因素造成的，移民在其中扮演着关键角色。

"Immigrants accounted for 81 percentof the growth in the Asian adult population from 1970 to 2016, and the foreignborn share among Asians increased from 45 percent to 78 percent in this period," Pew said. "One result was that the share of new Asian immigrants working in high-skill occupations decreased from 1970 to 1990, and the share working in low-skill occupations increased."

皮尤称：“从1970年到2016年，亚裔成年人中移民的比例上升了81%，同一时期，在国外出生的亚裔比例从45%上升到78%。”这导致的结果是，在1970年到1990年间，在高端职业中工作的亚洲新移民比例下降了，而低技能职业中的比例增加了。

Asians in the top 10 percent of the income distribution earn as much as 10.7 times as those in the bottom 10 percent, the widest income ratio among all races. Blacks, the group with the second widest income gap, have a ratio of 9.8.

收入前10%的亚裔收入是底层10%收入的10.7倍，是所有种族中收入差距比例最高的。排在第二位的黑人群体则是9.8倍。

That compares with a ratio of 8.7 for all Americans. In dollar figures, that means the top 10 percent of American households earned $109,578 annually in 2016, compared with $12,523 for those in the bottom 10 percent.

相比之下，所有美国人的比例是8.7，以美元计算，美国家庭中收入前10%的家庭在2016年年收入为109578美元，而底层10%的家庭则为12523美元。

Income inequality has widened across all racial groups since 1970, Pew noted. In 1970, the richest 10 percent of American households earned 6.9 times that of the lowest 10 percent, while the ratio for Asians stood at 6.1.

皮尤指出，自1970以来，所有族群的收入分化都在扩大。在1970，美国家庭中最富有的10%家庭的收入是底层10%家庭的6.9倍，而亚裔是6.1倍。

The Asian population in the U.S. is divided by income and education, which is linked to their country of origin, Pew said.Some groups are more likely to have earned a college degree, such as people who are of Indian descent or have immigrated from India. More than 7 out of 10 Indians have a college degree, while the group's median household income is$100,000.

美国亚裔是按照收入和受教育程度区分开来的，这可能与他们的原籍国有关。有些群体更可能获得大学学位，比如那些来自印度血统或从印度移民过来的人。10名印度移民中有7个以上拥有大学学位，而他们的家庭收入中值为100000美元。

By comparison, fewer than 1 out of 10 people from Bhutan or of Bhutanese descent have a college degree. The study didn't have enough data to calculate the median household income for the group,but about one-third of Bhutanese live in poverty in America, Pew said.

相比之下，来自不丹或不丹血统的10人中只有不到1人拥有大学学位。这项研究没有足够的数据来计算这个群体的家庭收入中值，但美国大约有三分之一的不丹裔生活在贫困中。

Overall, Asians have the highest median income out of all racial groups in America, at $51,288. That's about 7 percent more than the median household income for whites, and about two-thirds more than what black and Hispanic households earn.

总体而言，亚裔在美国所有族群中的收入中位数最高，为51288美元。这比白人家庭收入中位数高7%，比黑人和西班牙裔家庭收入的中位数高三分之二还要多。

Black families: Erasing gains

黑人家庭：收入减少

African-Americans enjoyed big income gains in the decades following 1970, with their share of median income compared with whites rising from 59 percent in 1970 to 69 percent in 2000.

非洲裔美国人在1970之后的几十年里收入大量增长，他们收入中值数相对白人的占比从1970的59%上升到2000的69%。

But since 2000, blacks have lost ground,Pew said. By 2016, black income had fallen to 65 percent of the median forwhites.

但是从2000年开始，黑人裔开始失去优势，他们收入中位数相比白人的占比下降到了65%。

"The reversal for blacks this century may reflect the impact of the Great Recession of 2007-09," Pew said."Although no group was immune to the effects of the recession, the unemployment rate for blacks spiked to a high of 16.8 percent in March 2010,meaning one-in-six blacks in the workforce did not have a job."

“黑人族群收入的逆转可能是受到了2007-2009年经济萧条的影响”，皮尤称，虽然所有族裔都受到了经济衰退的影响，但是黑人的失业率在2010年3月飙升到16.8%，这意味着六个黑人中就有一个没有工作。

Hispanics lost income ground between 1970to 2000. About half of the growth in the Hispanic adult population since 1970is due to immigration, and those newer arrivals tend to earn less and havefewer education credentials or skills, Pew said.

1970年-2000年．西班牙裔的收入在降低，1970年以来西班牙裔人口的增长有一般来自于新移民，由于缺乏教育证书缺少技能，他们的收入很低。

About one out of 10 Hispanic immigrants have acollege degree, compared with three out of 10 Americans, Pew noted. It added,"The result is that Hispanic immigrants streamed into the lower rungs ofthe income ladder at a faster rate than into the higher rungs."

在10名西班牙裔移民中，只有一个拥有大学学位，而10个美国人中有三个是大学学历。结果是：“拉美裔移民更容易成为低收入阶层。”

Those who develop marketable skills and are willing to work can do well....regardless of ethnicity.

不管是什么种族，那些愿意学习市场技巧和努力工作的人都能做得很好。

Income inequality is a result of a dynamic society based on a foundation of innovation, free enterprise and bound less opportunities with globalization playing a huge role. Always keep in mind thatthe top 1-2% pay almost 40% of all income taxes and the bottom 40% pay nothing.

收入不平等是社会发展的结果，是建立在创新、自由贸易和无限的机会的基础上的，全球化在其中发挥着巨大的作用。你得知道，40%的税收是由 1%到2%的人缴纳的，而底层的40%的人基本上不纳税。

All experiments with income equality haven't worked out too well. The USSR, North Korea and China under Mao arenotable examples.

所有试图让人们收入平等的尝试都失败了。苏联、朝鲜就是值得注意的例子。

Don't use the term of Asian Americans, if you really want to talk are race. South Asians, mainly Indians, are totally different from East Asians. Among Indians, there are also great racial differences, ancestors of Aryan race (northern Indians) or of African race(southern Indians). The discussion of Asians in this article is totally flawed."Blacks are no longer America's most economically divided racial group." I am not surprised. The spirit of move upwards for black Americans have been totally killed by liberal policies of governments over last half century.Basically, liberal policies on black Americans have achieved one communisticgoal: equalized at the lowest common denominator. Now blacks are lesse conomically or financially diverse/divided, because now black Americans are equally POOR! Say thanks to liberal policies, my fellow black Americans.

在这篇文章中，亚洲人的讨论是完全错误的。如果你真的想谈论的是种族，不要使用亚裔美国人的术语。南亚人，主要是印度人，与东亚人完全不同。在印度人中，也有很大的种族差异，包括雅利安人（北方印第安人）和源自非洲的人（南印度群岛）。
黑人不再是美国最经济分化的种族群体。我并不感到惊讶。上半个世纪以来，美国黑人的向上精神完全被自由主义的政府政策扼杀了。基本上，对美国黑人的自由政策已经达到了一个共产主义的目标：均衡最低的分母。现在黑人经济上不怎么分化了，因为现在所有美国黑人都一样穷。感谢自由主义政策吧，我的黑人美国同胞们。

do you think that ANYONE cares???

谁关心这些?

This isn't detailed enough. It's using the term "Asian" as a catch all for everyone from the Middle East to FarEast. There's a huge difference between the Japanese and Chinese, the Indiansand the Persians or Afghanis. Far East Asians and South Asians do far better than Central and Middle East Asians.

不够详细。它用“亚洲人”这个词来形容从中东到远东的每个人。实际上日本人和中国人、印度人、波斯人或阿富汗人有很大的不同。远东亚洲人和南亚人比中东和中东人好得多。

Try going to China where you don't speak the language or even if you do, your education is not recognized then see how well you will do. There are Russian scientists who are working as cab drivers here in the US. Until these new immigrants can get the necessary education,they will bring up the rear

试试去中国，在那儿你不会说他们的语言，你的学历不被承认，看看你能做得怎样？有俄罗斯的科学家到了美国之后只能开出租车。新移民在受到最基本的教育之前，他们的收入只能垫底。

Just the facts
Not news. Past stats show that first generation orientals do really well, second generation is about normal, third and beyond do much worse. Seems to be something to do with not being in their home culture which is very study oriented.

这不是什么新闻了。过去的统计数据表明很多第一代移民都能做得很好，第二代也可以，第三代以后的都慢慢的变糟了。这好像是因为他们不太注重学习他们的家庭文化。

NO SUCH THING AS ASIAN AMERICAN

亚裔中不存在这样的情况。

Many times lower economic"inequality" spurs real business ideas, hard work, continual learning. Are you saying Doctors should be paid the same as say a bicycle repairman?A lawn maintenance person? What is this income inequality.

“经济不平等”很多时候会让真正具有商业态度或者努力工作、不断学习（的人）受伤。你是说医生的收入应该和修自行车的一样吗？和剪草坪的一样吗？这就是收入不平等.

Michael
Its easy. Finish High School. Stay out of trouble with the law. Get a job and work hard at it--even if you don't like it.You will then move up. No one has to be in poverty in America. No ONE.

很简单。完成学业远离麻烦，找一份工作并且努力工作，即使你不喜欢它。然后你就会慢慢的变得成功，在美国没有人是天生贫穷的，没有人！

the most economically divided racial groupis the group the wealthiest person in the country belongs to.... because iguarantee that there's someone else in the same ethnic group with negative networth here too...

收入分化最严重的这个国家的富人，我敢保证他们中间有人现在还有负资产...

Some Asians are good at math, some are good at cooking fried rice and lo mein.

一些亚洲人擅长数学，还有一些擅长做炒饭和拉面。

Forget race, that is a loosing way to lookat it. Look at the family structure - there is the answer. Any race with astrong two parent structure will do far better with their children then singleparent homes.

忘掉种族因素吧！真正的原因是家庭，任何一个双亲家庭的孩子都会比单亲家庭的要好。

Kitty
I'm wondering if the income gap rising isdue to the fact that Chinese/Japanese are at the top of the strata whileFilipinos and other South East asians are at the bottom of the strata. If so,that's just the normal order of things much like it already is in Asia.

我想知道收入差距的扩大是否是因为中国人/日本人站在了收入的顶端，而菲律宾人和其他东南亚裔在收入的底端，如果是这样的话，那其实是正常现象，就像现在亚洲的情况一样。

David
lots of different Asian ethnic groups somebetter than others.

亚裔有很多不同的族群，其中有一些很不错。

ManOfTheHour
No surprise...we used to only allow thebest and brightest.

不奇怪.........以前我们可是只允许那些最好的最聪明的人（移民进来）

In the U.S., being economically(D)isadvantaged means you voted against success.

在美国。成为弱势群体意味着你不可能成功。

Thats because of OBAMA

这都是因为奥马巴。

Its because majority of blacks in the bigcities are on welfare/food stamps and HUD housing. Or in other words, they areparasities/leeches of taxpayers; proof look at all of the fat single blackwomen having numerous babies from different black males. No wonder why thereare so many black on black violence, majority of all crimes and inbreedinggoing on.

这是因为大部分大城市里的黑人都是靠福利和食品券生活，换句话说，他们都是纳税人的寄生虫，证据就是那些多的肥胖单身黑人女性和不同的黑人男子生下小孩，还有那么多正在发生的暴力、犯罪和近亲繁殖等。

If anyone moves to another country and doesnot speak the language they are immediately very limited in terms of income.The faster they learn the native language the better the prospects for themespecially in the U.S.A. where we are so diverse a society.

如果一个人移民到另一个国家，不会说这个国家的语言，那么他的收入就会很有限，他们学习新语言的速度越快，他的前景就越好，特别是像美国这样多元化的国家。

Asian lives matter?

亚裔的生活更好吗？

Simply put if you don't try then you arenot going to amount too much. Race or gender don't mean squat if you don't try,whether it's going back to school or getting a new skill like computers,electricity, etc. you are always gong to be behind the eight ball. Education isthe great equalizer when it comes to all factors considered.

如果你不去尝试，你就永远不会有收获。如果你回到学校去学习一门新的技能，比如计算机、电力等，你会发现种族或者性别并不是天生代表着低收入。不要老是等到游戏结束了之后再来开始。如果综合所有因素，你会发现教育才是最好的均衡器。
