I know quite a few second or later generation Chinese immigrants who lived in roach infested one bedroom apartments with both parents and siblings growing up. They’re now wealthy successful adults as doctors and professionals living in the most expensive neighborhoods of San Diego. I’m not nearly as successful as some of them are. But I came to this country with two suitcases and one month’s living expenses and I’m now doing quite well economically.
That’s why I have zero patience for racially based whining coming from a certain ethnic group. And in spite of the fact that I’m fully aware of the existence of glass ceilings and discrimination (hey I’m a minority myself!), I despise Affirmative Action, a travesty of justice.
