Race and Ethnicity

The tale of two stories is a reflection of many families in the U.S. and the conclusion is where it was best described, “Wealth isn’t just about luxury. It’s also the starting point for the next generation. Until the wealth gap is addressed, white will continue to have an advantage over nonwhite, generation after generation,” this is what happened with Byron and Max. Max does not have to worry about his parents because they were financially secure from the sales of their home so Max can help his children with school and their own homes, giving them an advantage of nonwhites. Byron on the other hand, did not have to financial support from his family, he did get a good education through scholarships but on top of his own expenses, he must financially support his parents because they were not as lucky as Max’s parents were. The gap of the two families will continue to grow from generation to generation, the generation before you will affects the gaps positively in Max’s case or negatively in Bryon’s case.
