2) Why is there poor social mobility for certain minority groups in 2018?
If you want an answer to question #2, it is going to look a lot like Cliff's answer, with systemic racism notably absent from the list with a notation that poor social mobility and income inequality is a problem that is affecting every single corner of society right now. Any solution that tries to answer that question shouldn't include racial lines.

But what if certain historically marginalized groups (black males in the US) have worse social mobility rates than non-marginalized groups (as seems to be strongly suggested by the large new study by Stanford & UCLA)? Would you agree that it is important to ask why this is the case?
