Hey White People...

[TheNewKC]

WTF! Complete BS!

[CS1983]

Do Asians-at-large count as "White Guys"? Cus America has been pretty great to East/SouthEast Asians, Indians (dot, not feather), etc.

Heard a thing on NPR the other day about the value of education in Asian cultures and how there is a myth that Asians succeed because it's a cultural value to be well educated, etc. but it then went on to say that doesn't hold true on the Asian continent itself, that the success rate isn't there. So this is purely an Asian immigrant situation.

As VectorSC has pointed out before, Asians destroy the myth of racism in America. They come here with nothing and make something of themselves.

A lot of other races do this as well, like people from Africa. My experience (through selling small business insurance policies, and my wife selling many, many, many, many, many more small business insurance policies) is that most of these businesses are immigrant owned.

I don't know what "expert" said that but saying it's an "Asian immigrant situation" is horsepuckey. The things is there are differences in Asian cultures like there are between European or African cultures. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese in their own countries value education as much as immigrants in America from those countries do -- maybe more so these days. It's not the same case in the Philippines (or with Filipino immigrants) and the caste system in India overwhelms any cultural emphasis on education.

The success rate is a whole other matter. Asian immigrants have largely succeeded in America because our past culture rewarded hard work, initiative, and yes, education. I rather suspect that equation is changing these days with the cultural priorities being emphasized by the Left. The cultural emphasis on education in China, Korea, or Japan may not have resulted in as much success purely because the opportunities weren't there. Korea was still dealing with economic aftermath of the Korean War as recently as the 1980s and even into the 1990s. The PRC ... well, let's not even go there -- you can see how the culture rewarded education and hard work by what happened in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Then again, I'm just a fourth-generation American of Chinese extraction who grew up in Hawaii with other Asian-Americans watching the Pacific Rim. I'm sure I'm not as qualified to talk about Asian cultures as an East Coast NPR talking head who studied Asian Culture at Harvard or Yale or Princeton or even CUNY and who has probably written dozens of papers on the subject.

Well, being a first-gen American born half breed, guess I can only blame the Whitey in me for being such an under-achiever...... Where's my entitlements ? Whitey be puttin me down all my life.....

What do the original five VJs think of MTV today? I doubt very much.

You can quit your job though. It's not quite the same.
