No. I'm saying that income plays a larger role than dialect. Dialect still plays a role. If dialect differences were accounted for, speakers of non-standard dialects would have greater aggregate scores.

But you’re saying that dialect is caused by income!

No. I'm saying some of the differences in dialect between 2nd generation and later Hispanic and Asian immigrants are caused by income.
