Here again, the arrogance of "just knowing" how someone else thinks rears it's ugly head.

BINGO.

Asians educate themselves, work hard, raise traditional families, obey all laws..

Oh yes, and by simply doing so, they thrive.

Ivy schools already put caps on Asian admissions, otherwise over 1/3 students would be Asian, something observed at Caltech.
That said, Asians don't have the resources to compete with white and Jewish elites.

Nope.

How many Asians you see in welfare lines?
How many Asians are dependent on affirmative action?
How much time does the left spend pandering to Asians?
Where do Asians fall on crime statistics charts?
Do Asians have a difficult time getting into colleges (for the same reasons other minorities do)?

You are only a minority to a leftist if you're a person of color who depends on the government for assistance. Otherwise, they have no use for you. Same goes for Jews.

Oh the crime of it all, hard working successful, awful things to be associated with.

Yes most peoplke know that people are people and we all can't be put into a box. If we do, I would not mind the boxes that Asians get put into.

I'm a middle aged white guy with long hair and a goatee.

I look like a biker guy.

How many positive steteotypes are there about bikers.

When I think of bikers, I think charity rides. Growing up I was in the hospital a lot. Like more often than not it seemed. I loved it when bikers came to visit. I know the stereotypes, but I also know some bikers, and they are very caring people, generally speaking. They raise money for al kinds of different causes, and have fun doing it.

So when do Asians plan to riot and loot their own neighborhood as a result?

Oops they don’t do that. We black Americans can learn a lot from Asian Americans.

Good people are good people.

White, black, or other, short or tall, liberal or conservative. Republican or Democrat.

We are all people, we're more alike than different.

I love seeing people make it, I really do. I've had good mentors in my life and I do my best to pass it forward.

I do my best to mentor young people. We all need to do our part.

Don't let the media divide us, don't believe the hype, be good to each other and take care of your community.

It's all we have.

The indians have money before coming here.

IT workers have to go to school, which means they have money to pay for.

The indian shopkeepers need money to open up. Is not cheap these days in America, especially a gas station which is likely one of the first businesses indians got into.

Being a doctor means schooling, and that means having money.

I know South Asians, namely Pakistanis, in NYC metro, that do siding/pointing, roofing type work. But the actual laborers are mexican, or ecuadorian etc etc. They just own the business, while they hire hispanics to do the work.

Even indian cab drivers have to fork over a lot of money, and even take out a loan to buy the medallions

Yes we can (as can white Americans), unfortunately the current victimhood zeitgeist that dominates black intellectual and activist thinking will only reject such an idea, and viscerally so
