I agree with you that economic status is the biggest issue. What is the reason for the gap?
Why are black people, indigenous people, other people of colour, so damn poor in comparison? What is the single biggest reason in your estimation?

You have to determine where your starting point is. In a country once dominated entirely by whites, blacks had 0 cents to every white dollar so now 6 cents can be seen a progress. Should it be more? Sure but how is that outcome achieved. Blacks started poor and Hispanics come into the country poor. Asians come into the country rich through immigration so that's not a fair comparison.
