I would've liked if people recognized more about the "social" struggles Asians face in America (and Europe) rather than the economical one, since this is not invisible but rather very visible, just that people don't notice it. Which means everyone as individuals can do more about these issues... The way media & entertainment propagate the normalization of still making fun of Asians[1], affect not only Asians in America but also in Europe. (We in Europe have this weird self-perception that racism is more of an US thing, and the only resemblance of that here is either Nazis or Islamophobia.) People might not realize this but it does have a quite deep historical root [4] One thing about the article though. Not so surprising that the (elderly) Asian Americans have low trust for the government when the government track record to them is: * the Asians were the first to be targeted by explicit ethnic/national immigration ban[2] * American citizen who married Asian could lose their citizenship[3]. * Yellow Peril[4] * and now, disguised as good-will, through Affirmative action actively creating disadvantage to enter higher education.
