That may have been the case when you were younger. The situation has reversed.
>and nobody bothers with the third part of actual programs to help them.
The US federal government spends over $1 trillion dollars per year on welfare including Medicaid, SNAP, Pell Grants, Housing Assistance, Head Start, job training programs, childcare assistance, and more. Many states and localities supplement these programs with subsidized affordable housing, additional medical coverage, senior centers, community centers, libraries, university scholarships and more. Wisconsin in particular has many public and private social programs to uplift poor children of various ethnic minorities. The Kia Boys do not care.
Children of other backgrounds whose parents came to the US impoverished grow up to be doctors and lawyers. I see the difference mainly as a question of cultural norms and family structure.
