Juliana, whose parents are immigrants from the Dominican Republic, was the first person in her family to go to college. Her parents, who recently retired after years of work as domestic servants, like to tell their friends that the family is wealthy now that their daughter has graduated from medical school. Why is their boast about their family wealth not quite accurate?

Answer: even college-educated people of color face unfair discrimination in earnings.

Nearly all immigrants from the Dominican Republic obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States but they were more likely to live in poverty even if they have a college degree. Juliana ’s parents may boast about their family wealth but it is not quite accurate because even college-educated people of color face unfair discrimination in earnings.
