What you're saying is that it's their inherent qualities that cause their problems. How would you describe racism?

If I were to give the same argument backwards in regards to asians....would that also be racist?

Asian people have extremely low out of wedlock birth and school drop out rates relative to their proportion of the population.

Is it racist to cite a strong family unit as an underlying cause of Asians' prosperity? If not, then doesn't it follow that a weakened family structure might be the underlying cause of another group's lack of prosperity?

Citing statistics, if they're accurate, is neutral by default, but can of course also be done in a discriminatory way. The race in question makes absolutely no difference, at least to me.
