By contrast, Asians are generally not donors

Since the immigration of Whites to the U.S. has been unrestricted ever since the Mayflower, and large scale immigration of Jews dates back to the 19th century, these groups have had more than 200 and 100 years’ headstart, respectively, to establish themselves economically.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 made it just a wee bit hard for Asian men to procreate and build economic dynasties when they were barred from citizenship, and Chinese women were barred from immigrating to the U.S. It wasn’t until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, that the quota was lifted, which had previously limited Chinese immigrants to the U.S. to 105 persons per year. That was less than 50 years ago, an aggressive time frame to start a family; earn enough dough to send the first generation to prep school; then have that class graduate, get rich and build a trust fund to endow a school.
