I found this when reading a Pew Research report on Asian-Americans. They surveyed different Asian-American groups and ask them how well they get along with other races/ethnicities.
I'm not sure why Korean-Americans feel that they dont get along with anyone. I think we can attribute Filipinos & Indians getting along so well with other groups to the fact that they speak English at higher rates
I once lived in an apartment complex where there are many Asians like Indians, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Egyptians, Syrians. you can call its the UN but its true.
those who know how to speak English "get along" very well. I mean they speak to each other if there is a chance like when they are the grill area or clubhouse. and these are the Filipinos, Indians, Egyptians Syrians. the East Asians just keep to themselves. I guess its the language barrier because lets admit, to be able to interact, you must know a common language
Asians in the US are generally the most educated, earn the most and have the longest lifespans.
At the very top of all these categories are Indian Americans. I'd argue that Indians don't really identify that closely with other Asians, be they south east Asians or East Asians. They don't really feel the need to foster any so-called pan-Asian identity, given that their social status in the US is generally a very comfortable one: http://www.pewresearch.org/daily-num...sehold-income/

Chinese stores/restaurants tend to be cheaper, and they have very thin profit margin. Credit card companies charge a certain percentage, which is why many Chinese retailers don't want to accept credit cards.
For example, it costs $8 to have a haircut in a Chinese shop, vs. $15 at a Korean/Japanese one (although I can't tell the difference). If you go to a more upscale Chinese store, such as the T&T, or an Chinese hair salon charging $20+ for a men's haircut, they will accept credit cards.
Plenty of cheap Japanese/Korean eateries are cash only here as well. Depends on the pricy level, not ethnicity.
Yes but it seems the rule for Chinese and Vietnamese places here to be cash only, but most Korean and Japanese place accept card. I wonder if it's a way to avoid paying as much tax too.
Few thai people in the US too. Thailand was never a colony, therefore much less western influence.
They are far from the US, with no direct flight.
They have more ties to the UK and Netherlands due to history. And to Australia which is close.
Netherlands? I think you're thinking of Indonesia.
Actually there was some western influence, like Siam modernised quite a bit and was even following Japan trying to take cues from Britain, but no, it was never like it's colonised neighbours. The difference is you can see old British colonial buildings in India, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, even Hong Kong, Dutch in Indonesia, French in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Portuguese in Macau and Goa, Spanish in the Philippines, and indeed some European buildings in some of the Chinese concession ports like Amoy (Xiamen), Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin, but in Thailand there's none of that.

In Australia there tends to be a lot of interaction between Indians and other Asians, I think because both have that stereotype of being academic and sometimes nerdy.
Asian immigrants to the West tend to be wealthier and more educated than average, though we did have refugees from like Vietnam after the war.
