Whoever wrote that article could do with some lessons in tact.<p>"The vaunted Latino family is coming to resemble the black family" and "The Latino family is not in such a dire state as the black family."<p>Further on they qualify this with "poor black family" but in the more general quotes above, which "black family" are we talking about? The average one? Is the average "black family" really in a dire state?
Not sure what this has to do with hacker news, but it's about minorities, so I'm down.<p>I found it odd that The Economist didn't really do any pondering on the economic part of these statistics. The out-of-wedlock birthrate is probably a lot stronger correlated with lack of money than race or culture.
