Whites are no longer the most well-off race in America, according to a new study
on income inequality by researchers at Stanford University and the University of California,
Irvine. “Americans have long [considered] whites as the most privileged, highest income
earners and blacks as the least,” said Stanley Bailey, UCI associate professor of

income in the U.S.
