So this is an interesting point

So this is an interesting point and I can tell that you're not asking genuinely but I'm gonna answer earnestly. Why do so many Asians seem to be able to succeed financially? They're able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when other communities of color can't. Simply put, you're getting duped by averages. When you think Asian person, you probably envision an Indian doctor, a Chinese mathematician, a Korean Japanese engineer. And that is largely due to the H-1B visa. In the 90s, the H-1B visa started and allowed employers to hire highly technical and skilled foreign employees with high-earning specialty occupations. As no surprise, people who immigrate to this country with a full on plan with a high earning job are more likely to earn more money and have better financial outcomes. The statistical success of the Asian American population is largely driven by that highly selective pool of people. And the aggregate statistics obscure the reality of Asian American populations that came here for other reasons, like being refugees, the Hmong community, Cambodians, Laotians, they're facing systemic challenges and poverty at rates similar to or worse than other minority groups. And this isn't to say that Asian Americans haven't dealt with their own slew of serious policy problems, like Japanese internment camps or the Chinese Exclusion Act. But it is to say that this current average of Asian American data isn't necessarily representative of everybody. And what I'm not gonna do here is pit two minority groups against each other and try to compare them because this whole conversation has never been apples to apples to begin with.
