No other group seems to let themselves get hung up on the past experiences of dead relatives. Why is that?

What past? What horrid past did the Asian Indians face coming over? Like I said the blacks had already paved the way for them here in America.

Are you suggesting that if other minorities that have succeeded in this country would have had dead ancestors that were treated as poorly, that facing this reality of their ancestry would have also held them back?

I'm suggesting that if you replace blacks with any other minority in America from the very beginning they'd look the same way today.

Of course many dead people with similar skin color paved the way. It's noteworthy and commendable. But once the path has been paved, why do other immigrant populations make more productive decisions?

Because they didn't have those things done intentionally to set them back. Did the CIA pump dope into Asian Indian communities when they arrived? The Chinese brought their opium with them. The CIA purposely flooded black communities with drugs. Add that in with taking opportunities from blacks to learn skills and not having many employment opportunities to rise above poverty, and you get what you see today. If that had been done to any other group you'd get the same results. If I took over America right now I could do the same to any group and it would mirror what you see in the black community today.
