All available evidence indicates socioeconomics trumps demographics every time. The issue you're describing is because people are being paid large sums of money (relative to the rest of global society) to do work that is bad for the rest of society. It wouldn't matter if they were purple aliens with no genitalia, they're being paid to do a job that is a net negative for society, and the pay for that job is significantly higher than their alternatives.
