Asian Americans historically faced more discrimination than any group

That is pure lunacy. They faced NONE.

EVER.

Early on, Blacks and Indians faced discrimination. Now Whites do.

But Asian-Americans?

Never.

No he was saying he and his group are Asian not assimilated American.

And I'll bet the contributions Asians make in the way of contributing to society and through taxes outweigh your contributions, which may explain why you feel so threatened by them.
That's an elitist thing to say that Asians make more money than me even if it were true. I don't want people contributing their tax money when any other American could take their place. I just want them to stop coming here and serving as counter culture and counter voters and often times spies for the Chinese government (yes many are spying).

Because for starters I wasn't born in any back water. I was born in a prosperous middle class, like most all of America at the time, all white suburban area that has been diversified by global mass immigration.

Well, we're your neighbors. You can either deal with us like anyone else, or be unhappy and go away.

I'm not going away. This is my home.

Agree. We Asian people made as much contribution to American as others. The diversity today in some cities make up the new face of America whether some like or not.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy. And democrats see all these rich Asians as the enemy.
Oh really?

So explain why Asian Americans, the "model minority" who is the shining beacon of what Republicans think should be Republican leaning voters, vote for Democrats overall at a 70-75% rate (similar to Jewish American voters)?

Yep, Asians mainly vote Democrat similar to Jewish American voters...this won't change.

Asians at as a group have the highest gpa's/test scores, yet are still discriminated against at top Ivy League colleges (more likely privates) like Harvard. However, they will still be overrepresented at the more merit based publics (like University of California) and will be at ALL top colleges and completely deserve to be there.
