Many Chinese Americans have been here for generations, since the 1800s. Few Indians lived here before 1950. Ease of assimilation doesn't explain it.

- 4gotunameagain 1y agoMany Chinese Americans, sure. But how many in relationship to the Indians ?
- smt88 1y agoThere are more 2nd+ generation Chinese Americans than all Indians combined. Indians are a tiny and recent immigrant group.
- hcnova10 1y agoBut my impression is that Chinese Americans are pretty much white biologically and culturally by the third or fourth generation because of the high rates of interracial marriage.
