Thanks Asian guy. We would appreciate your first hand, so to speak, views.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

That's what I was gonna say.

It seems like many of them started their own businesses, and often, a majority if not all of the employees are of Asian descent. It seems like they're good about hiring family/friends and collectively investing so that they can start up new ventures.

Statistically speaking, that is a difference of a little over 16%. That is statistically significant. You think a election poll that showed a difference of 16%~ wouldn't be significant.

Oh, you need remedial statistical training.

That usually hire family and friends, though. Someone they trust....pretty common all over the world.

What's the secret sauce here? Soy sauce? LOL....ok, kidding. My hunch is Asians are better educated (higher college attainment rate), which translates to better employability. College graduates do have lower unemployment than high school grads.
It is more than that and much simpler it is work ethic and pride. Something other minorities and much of the general youth population knows little about. Work ethic and personal pride and individualism. They also generally wouldn't vote for a democrat in exchange for a sustenance bowl.

And they value education for their children and are very devoted parents and have strong family ties.

Some groups would do well to mimic these traits. It's the redneckish/ghetto people that's the elephant in the room. The problem is mainstream society think they're doing these people a favor by maintaining the status quo, nevermind frederick Douglas advocating letting folks fall in order for them to improve themselves.

Politicians don't want these type of people as the majority. See how much they are NOT dependent on the government ? So promises of "free stuff" aka social programs mean nothing to them.

No, our elected officials WANT dependent people so they have votes in their pockets.

Well -- not always -- the Korean guy who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech wasn't having his mental health and drug abuse issues taken care of quietly and by other Asians.
