Asian Americans also experienced redlining, but unlike black Americans they have come to have the highest homeownership rates of any single minority group since the 1970s. Their share of national homeownership is now even with their share of the overall U.S. population — despite the fact that so many live in coastal cities where renting is popular.

Japanese Americans were literally placed in camps during World War II, I dont hear that being thrown around as an excuse.

Blacks were essentially placed in camps for centuries.

It was nowhere near as long. Factoring in the preemptive and post war, it was at most 10 years for most Japanese. That is only a fraction compared to the time period of post Reconstruction to the early 1970s a time frame over 100 years).

Xiv is right on this one.
