Who is more professionally prepare, the African Americans or the

Latinos?
When it comes to the topic of who is more professionally prepare between the African
Americans and the Latinos, most people would agree that they are both equal, but is
that really true? According to Jennifer Eagle and Mary Lynch in the 2007 the percentage
of young adults African Americans that receive their Bachelors Degree Attainment was
20% versus the Latinos that were just a 12%. In here we can see that the difference is
not too much but definitely theres a gap between them. Also in the same year the rate
of African Americans that immediately enroll in college after graduating from high school
was 56% contrary to the Latinos that were a 64%. With this data we can think of two
possibilities for this, that there are more Latinos than African Americans or that more
Latinos prefer to go to college compare to Africans Americans. After graduating from
college the average of earnings per capita of both African Americans and Latinos is
about $48,000 dollars. In both races the job that better payment have is engineering. So
with this we can conclude that both races are pretty close to each other.
Now while I was watching all the statistics of the jobs by races there was something that
bother and is that the white race in all the jobs have more earning per capita that the
other ethnicities. So with this, a question came to my mind, why is that? According to
the journal The Atlantic this happens because the white race is the most compared to
African Americans and Latinos that are the minority. My own point of view is that I
completely disagree with this thought because I think that's discrimination. Is not fair
that if an African American or a Latino that have better academic preparation earn less
money just because they are less that the white race. I personally think that this
discrimination must end so the society start working as one and not as different groups.
