East Indians have the highest family income of any ethnic group in the US...

That would be the Koreans, not the Hindians. True, there are probably five times as many Hindians as Koreans but the 500,000 or so Koreans earn more per capita than any other group.

A few years back, the median income for an East Indian family was $89K, which was higher than all other ethnic groups at the time, with Koreans close behind. Not surprised if they have pulled ahead, although there is not yet ANY ethnic group that has a median HH income above $100K.

Its fascinating when you look at per capita incomes per ethnic group that a. most of those in the top ten are NOT usually European-descended and b. those in the top 10 tend to be relatively small population-wise (Koreans, East Indians, Persians, Armenians). Genetics and culture aside, all of the ethnic groups that I mentioned are disproportionately represented by the merchant classes in their respective diasporas (contrary to common belief, most of these folks are NOT the "elite" of their nations).
