Why are Asian-Americans so successful in America?

Why do white trash hillbillies?

Why do Hispanics?

 

Good dancing, ACQB!

 

The way that wealth is distributed, there will be a certain percentage of the population that lives in poverty. Some of them will be white. But the question is why, on the whole, black people are disproportionately poor and uneducated as compared to whites?

 

Asked and answered. Right before you started with the "BUT WHY????" shtick.

 

It's not a schtick.

What's the answer again?

 

Go back and fucking read it.

 

How about you direct me to it? I see a post about "slanty eyes" helping Asian-Americans read without the strain.

Do you believe that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites due to their inherent biology?

 

Because white liberals keep unwittingly fucking them over.

Umm, NO. In fact, I have not said ANY of those things at any point ever in this thread.

And I'd point out that "why blacks lag behind" is not what this thread was meant to be about, instead it's where you diligently (and successfully) detoured it starting with the very first response, and in an obnoxious black or white "slavery or else" type manner that seemed to imply anyone who disagreed with you was harboring secret racist thoughts.

Do I think slavery and Jim Crowe are factors contributing to current African American socioeconomic position? Absolutely. But far from the only factors, because it is actually an exceedingly complex issue involve a whole bunch of other factors as well, something your overly simplistic early posture failed to acknowledge.

And I'd point out a flaw in trying to pin it all on such factors is they're not the only group that began at the bottom. Have you ever read about the 19th Century Chinese-American experience? It's a horror show, too. They were largely brought over as de facto slave labor to build the railroads and work in mines as virtual indentured servants, viewed as inherently inferior easily disposable lives, and then continued to live in squalor and be subject to gross systemic discrimination for decades thereafter. Yet, despite those wretched beginnings, Asian-Americans have somehow managed since to rise up to our top strata in academic and economic achievement, also surpassing the white population. How?

To me, that's the more interesting question. What explains the difference between where Asian-Americans and African Americans are, when both groups largely began their American journey at the bottom and as victims of systemic discrimination? And what explains why Asian-Americans have also passed white America, do you think we wanted it that way? But you've run from those question each time they've been posed to you.

 

That's a legitimate viewpoint and, in some tiny measure, possibly part of the overall answer. And what else?

 

Maybe.

 

While I have no doubt some here believe they are genetically or otherwise inferior, the only person to float that possibility on this thread is you.

Everyone else has answered with just about every other reason I can think of. To which, when not presented with the exact verbiage you seek, twist it into "well, YOU must think they're inferior, then. There's no other option!" When, in fact, there are likely a thousand different options if you'd just stop compartmentalizing everything the way you are.
