| Culture and everything to do with it is 90% of the answer. Asian Americans face racism, and have absolutely zero cultural standing, nobody cares that Asian Americans don't win Oscars, they are not on TV shows, they are not represented in sports. And yet Asian Americas are literally 2x the national income and make up vastly disproportionate numbers of high tech workers etc.. The notion that somehow how 'Asian Americans' have 'vast Racial Privilege' that enable them to gain success is plainly ridiculous, obviously. Most of them do not come to America with stashes of wealth to give them advantage, though some do. So how are Asian Americans so successful? Because as individuals, they focus on the things that matter to them, and that enable them to have much higher incomes - like education as one obvious example. Those attitudes, motivations, concerns, behaviours are passed down from generation to generation and though it's unfair to characterize anyone by their culture, those things have tremendous impact. |
