Everyone except blacks should be complaining about the racist hiring policies of the federal gov, in which blacks make up a disproportional amount of the federal workforce, in some agencies approaching 50% of the workers.
Because the overwhelming majority of Asian-Americans did not have family in the US in the days when Asians faced some extremely severe discrimination in the Western US that was comparable to what African-Americans faced in the Southern US at the same time.
I don't know the exact figures but I'd guess that 80% of Asian-Americans are in the US due to immigration that has occurred since the 1965 Hart-Kennedy-Cellar Act ended severe restrictions on Asian immigration. There isn't any memory of the Bad Old Days.
This is my perspective as 67 year old. People who do those crazy shooting or react violently as we have seen are what experts call grievance accumulators. It is dangerous in a mental person and can be if the person see him/her self as victim. It can be from hanging out and getting behind at early age ;some personal failure or whatever. They turn to blame something or someone; rather than work at solving the problem as most do .I know Indians seem to have a high incidents of alcoholism and problems of suicide. Asians likely have different perspective if they are within a generation of arrival .They see opportunity that's hard for others to see having been here thru generations. Its all perspective; if no mental problems :IMO.

Asians and Indians do great in the U.S., but they're minority. Why is that?
Read a history book.

Wait... what's the difference between a black born in Africa and the United States?
Only about 400 years of slavery, Jim crow, housing segregation, voter disenfranchisement, the war on drugs, privatization of prisons, and intergenerational poverty.
