<p>“I know that even up to the early 90s, Asians were probably taken as a joke in American society. But nowadays, you see Asians dominating the best colleges, businesses, tech firms, medical schools, etc while they only comprise about 5% of America.”</p>
<p>lol- asians have been dominating colleges since the 1970’s, it was one of the main reasons the uc’s started disregarding race. also, asia has been drastically affecting the us economy since 1970’s please don’t create examples to prove a point. </p>
<p>also, before i go on, i don’t believe in the term asian-american, unless you were born in asia and later came over to the US. if you were born in the us, you’re american. you can fool yourself into thinking you’re asian-american, but you will find you have western values, and if you ever decide to move to asia, you will generally not mix w/ actual asians. it’s a second generation thing, every wave of immigrants did it, and it eventually fades w/ the third generation.</p>
<p>now, that being said, i think that there are a lot of Asians posting here, arguing against a lot of ignorant people. take the above poster for instance. now somebody clearly made some racists remarks, so naturally the poster was defensive, but i feel as if they took it too far the other way, like over-correcting in a car.</p>
<p>i do not believe that asian males face any discrimination or unfair hardships in today’s workforce. The percentage of doctors in the Asian community is 150 percent higher than that of whites. this is true w/ most science-oriented careers. In business, asians dominate the ITT stuff. The only reason they don’t dominate the front-office stuff is because it’s very hard to break into those circles. also, if you view yourself as an asian-american, your values will be a mix of eastern and western values. somebody with solely western values will be better at selling/pitching deals to the majority of the country. this is what my economics book says.</p>
<p>your yellow peril theory is ********. you can’t extrapolate the past into the present. it’s like saying germany still hates jews. most movies about the vietnam war are anti-war movies

^ in every single movie here, there’s at least 1 scene that shows american/asian soldiers were the same
-the stereotype is the complete opposite of a crazy soldier
-if you want to complain that murderers weren’t convicted because of race, get in line</p>

<p>glancing back at this, i realized i’m just as biased as everybody else here. it’s weird though cause in every day situations, the last thing i’m thinking about is race.</p>
