<p>For this topic, I recommend a paper by Malcolm Gladwell published on the New Yorker.

<p>A couple of comments/Questions:
- @kellybkk, would you please provide references or data on your claim that Asians are less likely to contribute back to colleges? It would be a very interesting data point.
- Reading the New Yorker paper listed above, you will notice how the Jews were discriminated against back in the good-old-days. The only way to change that is the participation of politics and success in the society. The firing of Helen Thomas and Rick Sanchez, selection of Elana Kagan on the Supreme Court are prime examples of how much have changed for the Jewish people in this country.
- As for the Chinese, (or Asians) in this country, a lot has to be done since the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It is up to this group to change the standing and status in the society.
- Eventually, the differences between race and ethnic groups are going to disappear and there will be no need for discussion like this.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
