Getting home loans: Whites beat Blacks (& Asians beat Whites)

Here's a Thomas Sowell column, which applies scepticism to the latest headlines showing that blacks aren't doing as well as whites. This time around, whites are getting their mortgage applications approved at higher rates than blacks, even when the applicants have similar incomes.

Does the ariticle discuss the relative credit histories and other economic facts (such as wealth) of the applicants? No. Does the article compare other non-white groups, such as Asians? No. But Sowell provides this information.
