...they do better because they fucking work for it. Pretty simple concept.

The truth will get you fired.

Is it the truth if the Asian kids are from established American families and are not immigrants? Or is one group's family culture prioritizing academic achievement?

the latter, it's 99% cultural. If parents, no matter their background, value the kid's achievement at school instead of claiming that being a good student is "a white thing", then obviously the kid will fair better. It doesn't matter if the dad is a genitor and the mom a waitress.

    yup, it's environmental, socioeconomics, culture, etc. is all a part of your environmental upbringing

    black people are in a loophole and the government wants to keep it that way

    It's not that their families were rich but that they were industrious.

    They came from a country with regular famines and turned up with nothing. They were often far poorer than the local blacks when they arrived, didn't have family to fall back on and didn't know how to work the system at all. So they had to work hard and invest in education to survive.

    absolutely! I have family who came from a communist country with nothing, they are millionaires now after working their butts off and saving. Democrats free hand out culture is not helping black people, if anything it is making them slaves again.

    Republicans also did nothing as they've been in power half the time

    Government agencies also trafficked drugs through their communities, spread diseases and segregated them, which didn't help

    Shame they just had to take all those drugs and couldn't say no, like the communities living right next door.

    Jews could learn from this

    [–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    The Chinese are seen in Asia as the Jews are in the West.

    Most Chinese immigrants pre-2000 were from Hong Kong, some from Taiwan. Things were easier 40 years ago where you could work part-time and support yourself through college, which many immigrants did.

    The mainlanders only flocked over after the country opened up AND when the population got richer. Many who come over also aren't filthy rich, although that crowd exists.

    RoFLMaO they actually grouped Asians with the White boys up here as White Adjacent but were forced to group em as a separate ethnic group after major backlash from the community full of non-wealthy working-class Asians

    Unless it's sports no group succeeds based on merit. Don't you know that?
