There's no immensely cruel and systematic oppression of Asians/Indians over centuries. While things are fair for Asians yet, I'm talking specifically about SLAVERY. Then after that Jim Crowe law and other terrible forms of oppression. And then even now, there's incidents like Ferguson, being made readily apparent by our new age of record-anything technology.
So yea, while I started up growing up in the poorest neighborhoods, black neighborhoods, my situation was not the same as my neighbors. My parents had a college education. They had no debt or drug problems, and did not end up incarcerated. I didn't grow up with people thinking I'm dangerous or about to steal something.
Interesting thing is that as our situation improved slowly to upper middle class by the time I graduated high school, my surroundings got less and less black, and more and more white. It's too simplistic for us to judge the poor, when we do not truly understand their situation.
