You read in the OC Register that second generation Asians have to take care of their parents? I am sure there is some truth to this because it is cultural. It works like that. Many American, no matter what race you are will probably be in the same boat if our SS Tax doesn’t pan out like it should over the next 20 years. But wait, is this the same OC Register that tells us time and time again that there is not going to be a housing market crash, one that reports on Anna Nicole Smith’s kid and who the daddy is instead reporting what is really going on in the middle east. What the heck is all this generalization going on. There are just as many foreigners buying houses, condos, condo conversions (including Asians) in south east San Diego as there are in Carmel Valley. There are just as many poor, stupid, misdirected asian, blacks, mexians, indians as there are poor, stupid, misdirected whites. Ethnically, San Diego is very diverse and not all Chinese are well off and well educated. Asia is a large place and china is very populated. There are many different types of Asians. Crap, Cambodia is one of, if not the, poorest country in the world. They are about as Asian as it gets. They can’t do anything right over there, especially since the 1960’s after Pol Pot killed everyone that knew how to do anything. Plus all the ex Khmer Rouge own all the major utilities and income companies… Northern China is horrible too (we here in America don’t hear much or don’t know that part too well, just the port cities). I am pretty sure the Chinese on the net right now, buying homes in Carmel Valley, going to UCSD aren’t the same Chinese that are coming to the USA through the Mexican border wrapped under the engine block of a Chevy suburban. These guys (which make up a larger percent of the Chinese population), aren’t living in Carmel Valley and they are not here to dispute the other oppressive Chinese that think their culture is so sustainable. Heck if America had a population of 1.5 billion, we could put 90% of the population to work in a sweetshop while 10% of the population lived like kings. The poor would never have a voice and everywhere the rich American went, they’d tell the rest of the world that they have it good and that education and saving money is priority number one for their culture. If you want to look at some real facts about a culture that knows how to save and also educate themselves, England is number one in all of the above. Their population is just 1/20 the size so we don’t feel the impact as greatly.
