BLS Stats and Asians

This is from bls.gov. I've come across these same stats in past years and they were similar. This is the report that liberal "follow the science" people use to falsely claim women are paid less than men. Nevertheless, Asians are making more than any other group.
Among the major race and ethnicity groups, Hispanics and Blacks continued to have considerably lower earnings than Whites and Asians. The median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers in 2019 were
- $706 for Hispanics,
- $735 for Blacks,
- $945 for Whites, and
- $1,174 for Asians.
The earnings for White men ($1,036), Black men ($769), and Hispanic men ($747) were 78 percent, 58 percent, and 56 percent, respectively, of the earnings of Asian men ($1,336). The median earnings of White women ($840), Black women ($704), and Hispanic women ($642) were 82 percent, 69 percent, and 63 percent, respectively, of the earnings of Asian women ($1,025). (These earnings comparisons are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that can be significant in explaining earnings differences, such as job skills and responsibilities, work experience, and specialization.) (See table 16.)
White men earn 78% as much as Asian men. Wow!
The caveat "(These earnings comparisons..." is significant and ignored by the race baiters. For example, if you were to look at similarly experienced (aka aged), similarly educated, similar geographically located, etc. people, differences would not be so large. Women have particular challenges with respect to earnings data because higher educated women tend to marry similarly educated men which means they are more likely to have one parent (usually the woman) stay home with kids. Thus, all these high-earners are taken out of the data. Plus, the number of women who leave the workforce for several years to raise kids to toddler age is significant. Like it or not, when you are gone for several years, you will fall behind (in salary and career options) others who did not leave the workforce.

Plus, wanted to add there is no pay gap between women and men in STEM careers. Sorry libbies, but it's true.

Are those stats inflated

because of the likes of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jim and Robert Walton and Charles Koch jacking up the numbers for white people?

Sort of. According to the post, they use median. Not much

effect. But yes, the use of average and median is often chosen to reflect the narrative. "X% of wealth is held by Y% of the population." Okay, that can have some implications, but what if median wealth is actually rising? That would be a good thing we might want to be careful about messing with. I don't know what those numbers are - just an example - but "figures don't lie but liars figure".

What a-hole TD'd me for posting stats? Carlsbad I bet...TNet should put him back in the penalty box.
I believe the data BLS tallies are from W-2 wages info (Box 1). So, I do not believe the gazillionaires factor into this because their income will be capital gains, dividends, interest, etc.
