Asians are gonna be big mad about this in 3, 2, 1...[/quote]

Nah. Lots of US citizens whose ancestors are from SE Asia also are low income and trying for college. California discovered this when race-based metrics were banned for public universities there. [/quote]

And they are very good at hiding their income because it's all made through businesses. 
There are so many kids on Reddit claiming HHI of $10K or $20K when their parents own multiple restaurants or other businesses. Reddit is anonymous so the kids are frank about their financial stats. [/quote]
[b]If they're being frank about the $20k income, then that is their income.[/b] Many businesses, particularly restaurants, are far from being as profitable as you might think.[/quote]

If they'e taking cash they can claim their income is whatever they want it to be.  There are many states (NJ being one) where the restaurant economy is almost entirely based on cash. Places don't even take credit (yes, in 2025!)[/quote]

No they can't.  The IRS is not that easy to circumvent.[/quote]
