Uh.. this doesn't disprove that.

One can have a disadvantage and still succeed in America.

I bet if you asked those groups whether they faced racism in the US or were disadvantaged compared with white Americans, they'd say yes.

And furthermore, nearly all of those ethnic groups vote for Democrats - if they thought that they didn't have a disadvantage, why on earth would Asian Americans vote for Democrats?

It’s called playing both sides. They benefit from the society that values hard work (not based on skin tone). But also benefit from being told they are a victim to the evil white oppressors.

Your post lacks logic.

Indian Americans that own small businesses aren’t voting democrat.

Yeap, like men. We are dumber, more likely to commit suicide, more likely to live on the street and more likely to end up in jail.

But there are a lot of us that didn’t succumb to that.

And here's the follow up to that statement...for those that believe they faced racism, was it actual racism or is it just a convenient excuse to dismiss their culpability / lack of personal responsibility in making progress?

I'm not saying it's all or nothing...but I will submit (as an opinion only) that there's far more laziness out there than racism, and it's easy to shift the blame to that boogeyman than admit you're just not willing to put in the work.

Democrats are the ones making it more difficult for Asians in higher education.

I seriously have no clue how one can make the argument that Asians are oppressed in any way. Certain bigotry? Sure on an individual level, same as white people deal with.

People can say whatever they want, and still be wrong. You prove that often.

Propaganda is effective, comrade. You know what's racist? Diversity quotas in hiring. Journalists cheering about ending white people. Movies that portray whites as stereotypically stupid and dangerous. So I've faced racism, too.

Race is no longer a disadvantage in America.

Look at how quickly outcome was uncoupled from opportunity.

And you can give the disadvantaged EVERY possible benefit to help them succeed and a lot will choose not to take advantage of it.

Perhaps because they listen to the bullshite spewed by the MSM that tells them ad nauseum that they are victims.

The determination you people have to hate white people, without actually saying out loud "I hate white people" is amazing.

Just fricking say it and save all the verbal gymnastics.

I'd bet white people today experience more true racism from black people than the other way around.
