Asians love exploiting child labor.

The people that ran the local Chinese buffet always had their kids hanging around studying. They're both doctors now.

This is why Asians are advancing further than most people in this country. Sacrifices they make and their culture helps them succeed.

They serve as pest control specialists looking for any critters or insects running around.

Specifically, propping open the door to the establishment with a 1974 box fan to avoid running the AC when it's 98 degrees outside

Have you ever heard the expression, "there's more than one way to skin a cat."?

Well one of those ways involves Asian child labor.

You act like Americans don’t use child labor. Farmers, businesses owners, electricians, plumbers, and etc use their children as an extra hand. Americans are losing their identity as hard workers. Most Asian Immigrants coming in this country have a mindset of living the American Dream. These children are seeing what parents sacrifice and motivates them to work hard. They want their children to have the best education and in doing so parents will make financial sacrifices. If you ever speak with Asians, what is single most important aspect their parents repeat over and over. EDUCATION.

And a nail place.

You can hear all kinds of stories of a Vietnamese family or two near the Gulf that will go in together on a shrimp boat or some other kind of fishing boat, constantly rotating the crew between themselves so the boat is always fishing and bringing in cash. That cash then is used to open up a restaurant that the boat, in part, feeds product to free of charge, giving them a leg up on competition. Then a nail salon. Then maybe a dry cleaner's. Then maybe a car wash. Then maybe another cash business. Everybody in the families work their asses off all the time, even the kids. Pretty soon, they've bought the whole strip mall their businesses are in and are leasing out the spots they're not using to other businesses. Still, their main businesses are all cash businesses.

Pretty soon, they are fricking LOADED. Their culture, work ethic, and way of life just drives them to succeed here.

My biggest gripe with asian places are mostly dry cleaners where they dont post their prices. When you ask they just give you a look before telling you. Also, trying to talk to them when you need something specific done theyjust give you the "yeah yeah yeah ready tomorrow" and you always leave like it's a crap shoot if going to be done or not. Ha

Yes, lets bash the one group of people who value hard work and family in America.

There is a reason Asians are the most prosperous group in America.

Wow what's wrong with these Asians. Parents raising their own kids instead of a day care, head start, or a baby sitter

Asians (no matter country of origin) are our best immigrants by far.


I will give it to them, Asians work hard and don't sit around looking for hand outs. But most of their businesses are cash businesses so they don't exactly pay their fair share in taxes but at least they are not a drain on the rest of us that do pay taxes.

Asians are as frugal as can be BUT they have a weakness and that weakness is gambling. They will sit there and sweat trying to save money by not running the AC but go and drop thousands of dollars on Pai Gow Poker at the casino.

I spent many school day afternoons, weekends at my parent's business. You better believe by the time I was 13 years old, I could put all of these on my resume

Janitor
Cashier
Stock Boy
Customer Service
Security (you know them round eyes like to steal)
Maintenance

It's just the way it was, never thought a second thought about it, and never questioned. My pay was being able to eat and have a place to sleep.

Because it's cheaper than hiring lazy Americans.
