And then we do also have ethnic groups who are truly disadvantaged. The very vocal of that "they" often seem to blame their status on ethnicity and resulting discrimination. Racial bigotry is indeed alive and well, here, but many here instead think that's only one (and a minor) cause of ethnic disadvantage.

I totally agree with your assessment. Its all to easy to use an attitude of ' grievance' and ' racial bias' as an excuse for lack success in ethnic groups, whereas people who get up off their ass and work themselves out of poverty go on to achieve their goals in a modern meritocracy like the UK and the States: that applies to all white and ethnic races equally.
