I keep seeing such "statistics" by white supremacists and right wing creators. I don't get how a Pakistani let's say, was born in Britain, lived a similar life to a native British person and is working a normal job Like a native British person, a net negative to the British economy? How does that even make sense?

any chart that doesn’t come with the data source is kind of a non-starter because its impossible to verify unless you do the whole thing yourself
I mean you could go through the trouble of trying to recreate it yourself but thats kind of the advantage of bullshit, its much easier to lie than tell the truth
No source. Also the values are weird, some have a negative marked, others don’t. Also I don’t think the size of the bars make sense either (why is £5500 “shorter” than £5300? And the £4000+ ones don’t actually cross the (negative) £4000 line). I wonder if the whole thing is just AI generated? Regardless, this chart is worthless and I would think less of anyone who shared this around trying to prove some point.
To be clear, I’m not supporting white supremacy, but I think these represent aggregates or averages.
So yes, two identical people (same background, life, job, etc) from two ethnic groups will be the same. But the make up of these different ethnic groups are going to be heterogenous. So the aggregates will be different.
The bars don’t even line up with the y-axis correctly. You can safely disregard it.
I’m not supporting this but this can happen due to different age distributions.
If white Brits are having less kids while other groups are having more, you have more whites in the net contributor age group (roughly 20-60).
An age-adjusted comparison would be more insightful.
