I'd guess that at least 90% of the convenience stores within a 25 mile radius of me are owned and run by Asians.
Check out the local massage parlors too baw...I would say 100% of those that are open past 9:00 and have a neon open sign

Sure see a lot of Indians running motels and Subway restaurants.

They are willing to work early to late, not looking for a handout, and taking care of what they make by reinvesting or buying another store. I guess you could say they don't mind doing business the way most Americans did it 50-100 years ago, earn what you can.

Can someone help me with how we got here? I live in a rural area, and I'd guess that at least 90% of the convenience stores within a 25 mile radius of me are owned and run by Asians. Preferential loans? Work ethic? I don't have a problem with it, I'm just wondering about causes.
There were distribution centers, for lack of a better term, in California for recent immigrants that would help new Chinese people set up restaurants and stores.

My brother in law is Asian and has a C store or three. It's a cash business . Pretty simple. It appeals to people willing to work hard.

You can make a distinction, but the Middle East is Asia. I intended its inclusion.
How about "Oriental"?

You realize the Middle East is considered Asian correct?
This is why we need to bring back "Oriental"
Dammit, Kafka beat me by 14 hours.
