I'm sure you have your reasons for it like saying that white nations tend to be richer, but you're still saying non-white people from predominantly non-white countries are not able to attain or maintain higher wealth. 

I fail to see the straw man in pointing out the exact thing you're saying. 

It's not a matter of "able" or "not able." It's simply a matter of statistics.

The majority of the richest countries in the world are predominantly white.

Of the top 25 richest nations, 18 are predominantly White/Caucasian (some countries like Italy are sometimes considered non-white for the purposes of relation to the US's definition, but I would count them as white here). 2 are Arab/Western Asian. 4 are Eastern Asian. 1 is Hispanic.
0 are African or black.

Meanwhile, the poorest nations are comprised primarily of African, Eastern European (many former Soviet Union), Asian, South American and Central American countries.

So, if you were to make an educated guess or hypothesis, would you estimate that a wealth test would make the immigrant pool entering the US more or less diverse?
