Disparities in wealth between Whites and ethnic minorities in the United States are evident and persistent. This work uses data from 1989 to 2019 from the Survey of Consumer Finances - a nationally representative survey - to document differences between the Whites and the two most frequently interviewed ethnic minorities, namely Blacks/African-Americans and Hispanics/Latinos. The absolute and relative gaps in the amount of gross and net wealth are staggering: the two minority groups own cents on the dollars of the Whites. The structure of the families’ balance sheets highlight that the ethnic gap is not just a question of the amount of wealth: the typical portfolio of a White household is not a scaled-up version of that of a Minority household.
