I still think Asians are more successful because whites don't see them as threatning physically.
Black men and women are still seen as intimidating even when they aren't doing anything,just because they are taller and bigger I statue.
But
These same people on here praising Asians are the first ones to bash them too.
Examples: most Muslims are from Asian countries. When these same successful Asians want accomodations for their religion the bashing begins.
In spite of the reprehensible things that FDR & our government did to the Asians in the early 1940s, they never brought into the 'victim mentality' that creatures since as Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson, or 'poverty pimps' as Walter E. Williams so perfectly described them have brainwashed the African-Americans of this country with.
The fact that 39% and 43% of the 2011 freshman classes at Stanford & UCLA respectively were of Asian descent tells you all you need to know regarding their off-the-charts levels of ambition and refusal to adhere to the victimhood nonsense espoused by our President and 'whiner-in-chief'.
They also have the highest approval rate for mortgages of any ethnic group in this country as Thomas Sowell has pointed out several times; how's that for a work ethic and sky-high levels of ambition?
Whoa - "Asians" is a sweeping generalization.
Chinese workers were imported into the west to help do the 'dirty work' - like build railroads - in the 1860s. They were often mistreated and pushed into enclaves for mutual support. Chinese American history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And it was only the Japanese who were mistreated by relocation to internment camps.
Asian Indians were routinely discriminated against, too. Indian American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why are you so bothered by the addressing of these issues in their entirety? These issues do not exist in a bubble. Why are you so threatened by my comments that you decide to make this discussion personal?
Oh and although I consider myself Black I'm also part Asian
Self-hating Asian?
You haven't posted anything to indicate your pride in your ethnic group.

Ah yes, I can almost hear the quandary:
Whites - Here I have a well qualified, hard working Black Gentleman but I shouldn't let him succeed as he can surely pin me in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Flippancy aside, the last black gentleman I worked with had a dual degree in Computer Science + Applied Math from Carnegie Mellon (and long dreadlocks to boot).
He got the job only because he was the best among the candidates we had interviewed.
Most often that not, you get what you put in.
Asians (or any other denominations) are doing well because they work harder than the rest.
true but that still does not stop the overt racism, Hell even the president still has to deal with it.
What "overt" racism?
I'd bet a black person who magically appeared in 2012 America from 1923 Alabama would laugh at your idea of "overt" racism.
