[quote=Anonymous]My guess is it's that the white (and more affluent) population has a much bigger financial safety net (people they could borrow from, access to credit) than other minorities. When you know that the next car repair isn't going to bankrupt you (because you could potentially borrow the money from a friend or relative) you do become much more happy-go-lucky. I would also hypothesize that minorities that are doing well are more stressed about daily life because they are far above the mean for their ethnic/family group. They tend to have more people needing their support within their family group. Whereas with non-hispanic whites most of them in this area are closer to the mean of their social/family circle and are less expected to help out financially or emotionally.[/quote]
