re: So Asians make more money on average than whites in the US

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the lack of history in regards to Asians on this board. Our education system is such a joke. Truth is Asians were an integral part of American history. Those who think Asians had it easy think about this: blacks suffered under slavery and Jim Crow and segregation, but they had supporters and people who spoke up and marched. Did you ever see the white man speak up in support of Asians? You don't think Asians suffered under Jim Crow laws? There at least were black restrooms and businesses that served them. Do you think, outside of congregations of Asians in bigger cities, they were able to find jobs or help in any way? They suffered just as badly and even worse. They were lynched, but you never heard about it.

Their accomplishments and contributions to American history are all but ignored. They were conscripted and forced into labor camps. Forced to build the railroads that helped unite this country. They are a people who don't get much credit yet are never the first to complain.

The Japanese Americans who lost everything during WWII have certainly not complained nearly as much as any other group that has a grievance with this country. It is amazing what a disparate group of people are able to accomplish when they work hard, stay out of trouble, and use their heads to do things instead of figuring out who to blame.

Perhaps it's race or culture. It's hard to say and there is a lot of generalizing here. I think the point is on the whole Asians seem to do well wherever they go while blacks seem to ..... Well not so much. Seen a nice black neighborhood lately?
