Also Asians did not "skip" the hazing, they were very discriminated against in the past and are still not 100% free of discrimination. And some groups of Asians in the US, like Hmong and Cambodians, have the same social ills that are usually associated with blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans.
asian americans, statistically are the most socially mobile immigrant group today. many east asians move towards middle and upper middle class within just one generation. it's been a common story to hear of an asian immigrant working blue collar, and raising a child graduating college, going off to becoming lawyers, bankers, doctors, engineers and business execs. asian americans have the highest median income of any race demographic in all americans. those who come in poverty, rarely stay there.

Yes they have good social mobility overall, but that's kinda irrelevant to what I was saying.
Also while Asian-Americans do have the highest income on average, it's not really a huge difference from white people. Let's not act like all Asian-Americans are doctors and lawyers.

whites are least racist to asians than other minorities from my observations. anecdotally speaking, blacks and hispanics i've spoken to feel that asians have somehow bypassed the "hazing" and shot straight to middle, upper middle class status. many blacks and hispanics in northern cities don't have a favorable image of asian immigrants and are resentful which leads to racism. it goes both ways however, asians can be racist themselves, viewing blacks and hispanics on a lower social class which brews further racism and segregation. i know educated blacks who don't have a positive image of asians for that reason.
this is very different in the south, stretching through the sunbelt and to SW california. i've seen many hispanic female/asian male relationships, esp in tx and ca lately, i mean alot. also white female/asian male, a ton of hispanic male/white female marriages, there is definitely more integration in those places. ironically, tho nyc is a very liberal town it is extremely enclaved culture, influenced by media, and people's dating habits are largely influenced by the insecurity that the media breeds. seeing a minority male of ANY ethnicity with a white female is not very common. in a group of 100, maybe 2 or 3, wheras in other parts of the nation, you'll see 10-20.
Escaped hazing are you kidding? Asians were even murdered by white thugs in the 70s in Michigan. Google Vincent Chin. Not to mention the Chinese Exclusion Act was the only act that passed barring the immigration of a specific ethnic group. Chinese was the group that built the railroad and you got a bunch of white men standing in the retro poster acting like they did it.

the mass majority of asian immigration was from the 70's on. i'm not saying there wasn't racism towards asian immigrants, sure there has been. my point if you people read correctly is that they have managed to move into the middle class faster than any other ethnic group and that's mostly because of their work ethic, intelligence, and moral compass. asian americans are by far the lowest criminal group in the country. the other more important point is that blacks and hispanics resent that mobility and have a perception that asians were never hazed, as their own communities have been here for generations and stagnant. the liberal brainwashing into the black and hispanic community creates this divisive feeling that asians get a lucky break while they're stuck in the mud. this breeds the kind of anti-asian racism found in black and hispanic communities today. i'm speaking from their point of view, not mine.

Oh, just one of what I call "angry black dudes." They're way in the minority.
I was going to the store for some snacks and asked this black friend of mine if he liked crackers, and he said, "well, I like SOME of y'all." Everyone, including me, laughed like hell.

Mark Wahlberg committed hate crimes against Asians too

Not literally all, but some people seem to think that the average Asian-American makes 6 figures
