something about immigration laws and only allowing the “best” or at least, wealthiest of asian immigrants…
not to mention, social/environmental pressures to “succeed”.
or it could just be your social circle.
or the fact that rich white folks dont stand out.
or that middle class asians don’t hob nob. outside of their church, anyway.
or that non wealthy asians disappear into a water funnel of shame and mediocrity.

total geek=bad. Total geek with no social skills=very bad.

December 13, 2007 at 11:22 PM #116895surveyorParticipantslippery slope
Expecting a 50% or more drop in San Diego or Hawaii just because it happened to Stockton is the definition of a slippery slope. I can’t say it won’t happen, but there are enough differences that I call it highly unlikely.
heck, I think a 30% drop is sufficient to get everyone on the buying wagon again.
But what the heck do I know…
Anyways…

You rang?
It seems to me that many Americans put a lot of importance on finding oneself and finding what one wants to do in their life, as opposed to many Asians who basically say, get rich, achieve, and then you’ll be happy. Many American families (those who have been here in the U.S. for a few generations) acknowledge that money is important but do not see it as an end all be all. Ah, the advantages of living in the U.S.
U.S.A.!
