may i just say, my father retired as a probation officer here in richmond last year. 75% of his clientele was rich, upper class white kids who were dealing, using drugs, stealing money from their parents, and driving their parents BMWs under the influence...they lived in the best neighborhoods, attended the best schools, a few were the children of affluent drs, lawyers, and judges. are these the "happier than black people" white people? if so they can have it.

the 25% left, blacks and hispanics, were older, shiftworking people who rarely had time off, raising 4 kids in an ok area, and not as well educated.

now the question should be asked: what really makes a person happy? having it all doesnt do it for most people. breaking even certainly has its downfalls. what makes me happy personally, is being comfortable. if you are the child of a neurosurgeon who has never had to do anything for themselves, im pretty sure you are happy on some level. having to work at 14 to provide for your siblings while your single parent works 2 jobs of their own? not so much. its about more than demographics. i think they asked the wrong people.
