For Asian Americans, Wealth Stereotypes Don’t Fit Reality
20th May 2015
And the Voices of the Crust continue the hunt for every last victim minority they can find … or manufacture….
“There’s an assumption that white Americans make about Asian-American social class status based on racial identity. It’s the idea of the model minority; that Asian Americans are successful, high income, studious, hard working, quiet,” said C.N. Le, PhD., a University of Massachusetts sociologist. “That’s the prevailing image that white Americans have and it’s of course a set of stereotypes.”
They say that as if it’s a bad thing. Never forget that stereotypes have an underlying factual basis, otherwise they wouldn’t exist.
“I didn’t realized how little we really earned until recently, when I had to pay for college, and apply for financial aid; I realized that we are not that well off at all,” Chen said. “I would say that we’re financially struggling.”
Can you imagine a black American saying that? I can’t either.
“My parents don’t have much in the way of retirement savings,” Chen said. She and her sisters, she says, “want our parents to live with us and live a good life as they get older. We see it as our job to pay our parents back.”
Can you imagine a black American saying that? I can’t either.
It’s not race, it’s culture, morons.
