Try again. His parents were first-generation immigrants and his dad died when he was little. His mom was an RN, he had two younger siblings, and he worked at Kroger his last two years of high school. Our friendship fell off because he never had time to hang out. Perhaps being bilingual was his "unfair advantage"?

His mom was an RN, he had two younger siblings, and he worked at Kroger his last two years of high school We can trade anecdotes all day long, but the general point stands. And yes, things were different 20 years ago. But the average asian family today in the US is actually better off than the average white family: https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/racial-inequality-in-the-united-states https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/racial-inequ...
- causi 4y agoThe average asian family in the US is actually better off than the average white family Exactly. Why is that? It isn't because they came over to America and enslaved people, or won a war, or placed themselves at the head of a religion that all the white people believed in. They excelled because they worked harder than everyone else. One can argue that the majority white population discriminated against asians less than african-americans or latinos and that's why asian people are more successful than them, but that falls apart once asian people are more successful than the majority ethnic group.
