Asians, more than Latinos, are largest group of new arrivals in U.S.
By Moni Basu, CNN
(CNN) –The immigration debate often centers on stemming the flow of people entering the United States illegally and what to do about securing borders to the south. But here's a fact that goes without much attention: Asians have now taken over Latinos as the largest group of new arrivals every year.
In 2010, 36% of new immigrants were Asians compared to 31% for Hispanics, according to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.
That's a significant change from a decade ago, when 19% of immigrants were Asians and 59% were Hispanics.
"They were already a significant part of the immigration story. It seems like in the last few years they are the most important part of the immigration story," said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political scientist at the University of California at Riverside, and expert on Asian-American immigration and civic participation.
He said that if the trends continue, Asian-Americans will play greater roles in shaping American society and perhaps, more significantly in an election year, they will have an impact at the polls.
"This is an important moment to see immigration for what it is - that it is far more complicated and diverse than deporting illegal immigrants," Ramakrishnan said, referring to discussion sparked by President Barack Obama's policy shift last week to spare some children of illegal immigrants from deportation.
Far fewer Asian Americans enter the United States illegally than do Hispanics. The Pew survey looked at recent arrivals of people with both legal and unauthorized status, as well as those arriving with work, student or other temporary visas.
Pew's exhaustive new report on Asian-Americans found important differences between Asian-Americans and other population groups in America. It also shed light on the diversity among Asian-Americans, who sometimes cringe at the broadness of the category that covers every country of origin from Afghanistan to South Korea.
The Pew survey showed that across the board, Asian-Americans are more satisfied than any other Americans with their lives, finances and direction of the country.
They also place more value on traditional marriage, family and parenthood and usually possess a strong work ethic.
Nearly seven in 10 respondents said people could get ahead if they are willing to work hard. And 93% of Asian-Americans describe people of their origin as "very hard-working," whereas only 57% said the same about Americans as a whole.
Asian-Americans also attain college degrees (61%) at about double the rate of recent non-Asian immigrants (30%), Pew found.
"The overall picture that you get from this survey is that like immigrants throughout American history, Asian-Americans are strivers," said Pew’s Paul Taylor, who edited the study.
"But what's interesting about them are the educational credentials.” He said. “By far they are the best educated in American history."
It's not that Asian-Americans value education more.
"Everyone values education," Ramakrishnan said. "But the difference is in the sacrifices Asian-Americans are willing to make."
He said his department’s research has found instances where Asian families in Southern California will move into a much smaller house in order to move to the best school districts.
However, some Asian-Americans recognize that they may go overboard in stressing hard work.
Nearly 39% in the Pew survey said Asian-American parents put too much pressure on their children to do well in school. Think "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," the provocative memoir by Yale Law Professor Amy Chua that sparked conversation about strict parenting.
Pew recognized the vast differences between the nationalities lumped under the U.S. Census Bureau category of Asian-American - the six major countries are China, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Vietnam and India.
New citizens: Why did you become an American?
Indian-Americans lead other groups in terms of income and education.
Seven in 10 Indian-American adults ages 25 and older have a college degree, compared with about half of Americans of Korean, Chinese, Filipino and Japanese ancestry, and about a quarter of Vietnamese-Americans.
Ramakrishnan attributed that largely to the fact that the Indians coming to America are the cream of the crop. They also have very high proficiency levels in English because of a history of British colonialism.
As a whole, Pew found Asian median income and household wealth exceeded average Americans.
Asian median annual household income is $66,000 versus $49,800 for all Americans.
Asians who came to this country are more likely than their compatriots back home to say their standard of living is better than that of their parents at the same stage of life.
But there are differences on the socioeconomic ladder.
Americans with Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and “other U.S. Asian” origins have a higher poverty rate than does the general public, while Pew found that those with Indian, Japanese and Filipino origins have lower rates.
There were other factors that made the groups distinct.
The survey noted that Indian-Americans stand out in the personal importance they place on parenting - 78% of them said being a good parent is one of the most important things to them personally.
Korean-Americans are the most likely to say discrimination against their group is a major problem, and they are the least likely to say that their group gets along very well with other racial and ethnic groups.
In contrast, Filipinos are the most positive on interethnic and interracial relations in America.
The Vietnamese are the only major subgroup who arrived on American shores as political refugees; the others say they have come mostly for economic, educational and family reasons.
Ramakrishnan said the Vietnamese were also the only subgroup that tended to vote Republican but that is changing given anti-immigration positions and other exclusionary measures supported by some GOP lawmakers.
The American dream began later for Asian-Americans than other immigrant groups because of racial discrimination.
It was not until 1965, during the height of the civil rights movement and robust economic growth, that the United States opened its doors to immigration from all parts of the world.
The decision paved the way for Asian-Americans to grow from less than 1% of the population more than 40 years ago to nearly 6% now.
Persisting prejudice against Asians led to many communities developing in their own enclaves, Taylor said. Hence the blossoming of Chinatowns, Japantowns and Koreatowns.
But now Asian-Americans are more likely to live in mixed neighborhoods and marry out of their race.
"When newly minted medical school graduate Priscilla Chan married Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg last month, she joined the 37% of all recent Asian-American brides who wed a non-Asian groom," the Pew report said.
Between 2008 and 2010, 29% of all Asian newlyweds married someone of a different race, compared with 26% of Hispanics, 17% of blacks and 9% of whites.
Among them, Japanese had the highest rate of intermarriage and Indians had the lowest, Pew said. More than half of recent Japanese newlyweds married a non-Asian; among recent Indian newlyweds, one in eight did.
Another big distinction was with single parenthood. Forty-one percent of all American parents are single parents. Among Asians, that number plummets to 16 % and among Indians, it's 2% to 3%.
Pew spoke with 3,511 Asian-Americans between January 3 and March 27. The telephone interviews were conducted in English and seven Asian languages.
Ramakrishnan said the Asian-American population, unnoticed before in many spheres of American life, would only continue to increase its share of the spotlight.
In swing states like Virginia and Nevada, where census data now shows Asians make up 9% of the population, Asian-Americans will make a mark at the ballot box in November, Ramakrishnan predicted. Most tend to vote Democratic.
"Republicans should be wary," he said.
At the very least, Taylor said the robust Asian-American immigration is sure to redefine the debate over people coming to these shores.
"Illegal immigration has been a driver of the immigration policy debate and illegal immigration has been primarily associated with Hispanics," he said.
But now, he said, the discussion may be forced to keep up with immigration realities.

Yes, Asians have been the most successful immigrants by far. And that includes many Muslims from Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh the GOP just absolutely despise.
The Irish and Italians have done well also.
Excuse me educated Americans, Hispanic is not a race. Just look on their birth certificates. And yes, quite a few of 'em were born here.
If you have an issue with them being referred to as Hispanic.. that it up with them. They call themselves Hispanic. Also..most of them were NOT born here or are second generation to those who came here illegal. Now I know you aren’t so good with history.. but look into Reagan’s amnesty.
Good. The more Chinese restaurants the better.
Great news! I love Asians. On average, they make great neighbors, they tend to be well educated, adapt well to American culture while retaining the good aspects of their own and generally are polite, well mannered people. If I had to come up with a list of non-European descent immigrants I'd like to have as neighbors, Asians would be at the very top of the list. Welcome.
Aside from your full frontal racism, I might argue that Asians make better neighbors and better citizens than an awful lot of Europeans.
Like your name!!!
Johnny don't be fanatic, I used to work in Asian peoples home.. wakala!!! they throw left over fish and sea food in the dumpster that makes it stink the whole block, they take off their shoes anywhere, raise their foot on anything couch, dining table, kitchen counter smoke cigarette like train and throw the butts on the street. One time I approach a pakistanni guy that worked in gas station and could not breathe !! 'cause of their arm pit. smell.
Clean people are Germans, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish I wish they come here!!
While I can see how immigrants might be wary of GOP immigration stance, I do think immigrants need to notice the family values that GOP candidates usually support (I say usually because some Republicans are not only fiscally messed up but now siding with the immoral standards of Democrats–abortion and gay marriage). Immigrants who value family and traditional marriage and cultural customs, should remember that these things are the foundation of a society (the family) and siding with immoral positions from liberal Democrats (it used to be that Dems were moralistic but most are not anymore) because of fiscal issues should pale in comparison to the family values that hold a society together. If we look at the history of liberalism, we will see the high rate of divorce, broken families, children with many psychological problems due to these family problems. These things have only worsened under politically liberal governing.
Yes, of course, "family values" solves every issue for a society... America, traditionally has a 50% marriage failure rate, and the other 50% are living with spouses that they hate, fear or are economically enslaved to.
And, as we are all well aware, only the Republicans have "family values"...
Mei, I'm hispanic and you are right, non of the two parties fulfill th values of our society, we hispanics tend to be family oriented, and most hispanics countries, abortion is ilegal, but most of the antiimigration bills that have divided our families come from republicans, that is why more hispanics vote for president Obama, we have to decide between abortion and our relatives that are being deported, is sad 😦
"we have to decide between abortion and our relatives that are being deported". No one is forcing abortion. Democrat policy is 'pro-choice', not 'pro-abortion'. And pro-choice also does NOT mean that abortion is encouraged; its not. It is an individual's free choice and even if (for example) 99% of Americans are against abortion, they should exercise that 'choice' and not abort. But they should not trample on the rights of the 1% who think differently and choose abortion. I am a woman and if I get pregnant, I probably will never consider abortion (my choice). But I can understand why some women make that decision.
I wonder which group is the most intelligent:
A. Works very hard, highly educated, and is also wealthy.
B. Works very hard, highly educated, and is dirt poor.
C. Does not work hard (or not at all), barely educated, and is wealthy.
D. Does not work hard (or not at all), barely educated, and is dirt poor.
Logically, it should be C, but who the heck knows.
Does not work hard (or not at all), highly educated and is dirt poor.
If a whole group of people fall under C, then they're not intelligent. They're holding onto power via inherited wealth and discrimination.
Nice excuse. If they are not intelligent then what does that say about those they are so easily keeping oppressed?
Please ignore the Anti-discrimination laws and Affirmative action behind the curtain. That might put a wrinkle into your scapegoating.
It says that there aren't enough of them yet, and they aren't organized. But just wait. That will change.
The American dream began later for Asian-Americans than other immigrant groups because of racial discrimination....
Ummm, even Asians as a whole got more acceptance and access to the American dream than blacks..., the above statement is false or better yet... misleading
Blacks have had handouts, affirmative action and basically too much free stuff. Now they are in total social disarray as a culture, have no initiative and depend upon their government check.
Also.. Asians have been coming here in mass since the 1800s like most immigrant groups. It was the Irish and the Asians who built the railroads.
(funny side note, The Irish were once considered to be of less value than a black person. But you don’t hear about the great Irish/Asian oppression, Irish/Asian history month or IET/AET. That’s because they see themselves as AMERICANs not Irish/Asian Americans. And take personal responsibility)
Let's not go too crazy about international academic rankings - you know, the ones that show the US perpetually mired in 13th place. There's growing belief that other countries do better in these K-12 structured tests, but that US students are much better groomed to deal with college/university challenges. Of the US News' Top 400 Universities, the over-whelming majority are American. China recently sent a delegation to the US on a mission to see why our K-12 students are, apparently, much "happier" and "confident" compared to their Chinese counterparts. China has wondered aloud why they don';t have any Jobs, Bezos, Musks, or Gates in their country. Finland kicks our butts in these K-12 rankings but isn't even close in terms of innovation or economy.
Perhaps you didn't see the scorecard yet in math and science. The US student are rated at the bottom of the developed nations.

Asian-Americans tend to be on the opposite end of the spectrum in almost every sense compared to Hispanics. Generally speaking, the rise of Asian-American populations will not bode well for Hispanics. Asian-Americans, especially after being here a while, are very much into core Conservative values.
In what ways are all Hispanics on the opposite side of Asians?
Asians do not march waving flags of the racist and corrupt nation of Mexico in our streets all the while demanding that America legalize them becuase we "stole their land." FACT: The Mexican-American war lasted from 1846-1848. It began with continued bloody ambushes by Mexican bandits against American expedition forces along the Nueces River. The Americans repeatedly sent diplomats to Mexico City to seek a peaceful end to the conflict. America also offered to buy much of the land north of Mexico city as Mexico did not use it as they deemed it unworthy of farming while America was interested in its purchase for expansion. Mexico rejected. Ambushes continued causing Polk to delcare war. It was a controversial war on both sides. The end result is that the Untited States conquered the southwest and the land was divided up into new states. Then, do you know what America did? Something unheard of in human history up to that time. America PAID Mexico after the war as a gesture of goodwill. Yes – never before had a nation paid a nation in which the former conquered. What amounts to billions today was paid to the Mexican nation by America and all Mexican nationals who remained north of the newly created border were granted full American citizenship with all protections and rights granted by the Constitution.
Well for starters.... the value of education, the focus on intellectual achievement...
"Between 2008 and 2010, 29% of all Asian newlyweds married someone of a different race"
What they neglected to mention is that out of those, 28% are Asian women marrying men of another race. You'd be hard pressed to see an "Asian Zuckerberg" marrying his white girlfriend, for instance.
This is the appropriate response to news of this manner. Anything else is just silly,
This country is slowly being sold to Asia in the form of debt so it seems fitting we will need a large Asian population to oversee things here.
China knows they must purge their country of the Chinese people, so they are moving them to all corners of the world.. China has used the massive numbers of laborers from their country to rebuild and join the the modern world. Even thought they have made attempts at birth control in the last 15 years, it is to little to late and they know that if for some reason foreign companies were to move out of China it would create Massive Chaos.
Uninformed nonsense. Chinese come to the US because they can own land and a business outright, things denied them in China where land can at best be leased for many years but is always owned by the state. They come here for the good schools in places like San Jose and the opportunity to pass their land and wealth to their offspring, again something they cannot do in China under their current body of law.
It's interesting that people in the USA think they actually own the land and are not leasing it, too. Once you add up a lifetime of property taxes, combined with zoning laws, do you really think you own that land? It's not yours. You are paying rent and you can't do whatever you want with it. Doesn't sound like ownership to me.
Land and homes are owned mostly by banks in America. They make u believe it's urs but by the time u really own it, it's time to take a reverse mortgage
Europeans have been colonizing the whole world for centuries, so what's wrong with Asians doing it?
May be Europeans colonized America, India etc. but they never colonized Nepal.
–
That's why we don't have Independence day in our country although it's too small.
Reasoning like yours explains why the Asians are doing better than you.
Cinchy, here's a fact – the number of educated Hispanic Americans (especially those of Mexican and Cuban descent) in law, engineering, science and medicine has increased in the past decade, and the field is leveling out, we are attaining unprecedented levels of formal higher education than ever before, and that pattern will only continue (or "persist"). When I go to university graduations, especially in California, I see more ethnic minorities (mainly Hispanic and Asian surnames) attaining educational achievement than I've ever seen, which is a testament that times are changing and with the new growing populations, it has been empirically and quantifiably proven that so too will their educational, economic income, and social mobility increase.
(Did you not know that the largest group to collect welfare are white folks? – fact)
It is a known fact that more Hispanics are employed in this terrible US economy than most other groups – why? Simple, we have an innate ability to work extremely hard and we do our jobs competently and very well.
Here's another fact, Hispanic positive contributions to the United States are undisputedly and unequivocally established and well-known, so how dare you make a false statement, not based on fact, but based on your underlying racial animus towards us. Our history (especially my history as a Mexican American) IS American history, and American history is a conglomerate of all the past and present ethnic groups that have immigrated to the United States and have made it the great country that it is. Our U.S. states and cities have Spanish/Mexican name-origins that testify to our contributions.
Get use to the "fact" Cinchy that as our population grows, our prosperity will grow with it. We are well-represented in the judiciary, state legislature and politics, the US Congress, academia and, baby, that's where it matters! Get use to seeing us a lot more in higher places 😉 And I am neither democrat nor republican! And hell no I didn't vote for Obama. Haha.
So how did you cross the border?
You're right. In ten years, Mexican-Americans are going to create an enormous wave of professionals.
It doesn't matter what the red neck racists say. They can't stop it. The majority of them don't see the thousands
of Mexican American kids in college. They're networking, they're blogging and they mean business.
I hope that I'm still around to see it.
Geez Paul – if what you said was actually true, that the future would be bright. Too bad, though, you're wrong. The number of Hispanics in college has increased simply because their numbers in the US have increased. As a percentage, however, there has been little change. Also, the percentages of Hispanics at "flagship" colleges/universities is unchanged. Admit it or not, where you go to college does make a difference. So, other than being pretty much completely wrong – great post. Again, the buttress against the dead weight of Hispanics (in terms of contributions to society) are Asian immigrants. Hispanics are, along with blacks, the under-class. It would be great if this wasn't true, but it is. It would be great if there were signs of progress, but there aren't. The solution: Hispanics need to start really valuing much higher-end education.
Us Indians and Asians who came to America should remember that we owe a lot to African Americans. Today we are reaping the fruits of their struggle for equality and the civil rights movement. Their struggle changed the lives of many, not just in America, but in other countries that witnessed the movement. When Obama became POTUS, people all over the world who have faced any kind of discrimination felt like they had won a personal victory and that his victory gave them hope. Life is not just about advanced degrees and high incomes folks, it is also about character and dignity.
Hear, hear. Very true. We are in debt to African Americans.
in debt to alot of IRISH as well .. africans sold by other africans or the Irish taken by the british.... Everyone has been a slave at one time or another .. get over it!
The Irish didn't have to sit in the back of the bus in 1964. Nor did they have to litigate Loving v. Virginia. 1964 is when Asian doctors and engineers started coming here. If not for the African Americans, they would have faced far more discrimination, and would not have advanced as far.
And, until that is made right, America and the American culture (which only Whites think they are TRUE Americans) will continue to decline.
My Aunt lived in Uganda and now living in USA after being throw away from her home by Ameen. She was Indian origin. How come she owe to African America ? No one owes anything to anyone. We all have to work hard by putting racism away.
I would like to say that I am half Vietnamese and half caucasian and I can tell you that my mother, which is a single parent, has done an outstanding job raising my younger brother and I. My mother came to the United States after the Vietnam war and her parents forced her to leave her home city of Saigon when the communist was taking over. When she arrived in the States she met my father and had my brother and I. My mother and father soon divorced because my father was an abusive and alcoholic marine who was out of control from what I saw as a young child. My mother did what was best for my brother and I and left my father and took us with her. My mother who learned English from Hooked on Phonics did not know what she was going to do since she had no educated background and she barely finished middle school in Vietnam. My mother and my brother and I moved with my aunt, my mom's sister, and knew that my aunt was making good money as a cosmetic nail tech so my mother followed into the trade and now owns a few nail shops and does outstanding and makes over six figures a year all by herself. My mother is an outstanding woman and she came from arriving in the States with nothing and not knowing how to speak English and not having any kind of education to becoming a very successful business owner. I have seen some of my caucasian friend's parents who are together who have college degrees do a lot worse than my mother and it just amazes me how my mom has become so successful all by herself. I hope one day I could be just like my mom and be a great parent just like her. She never gave up and always pushed my brother and I to complete our education and how important it is. My mother always sacraficed her life for my brother and I and always stressed how important it was for us to work hard. Now I am going to school to become an Electrical Engineer and my girlfriend which is Vietnamese as well, is going to school to become a Dental Hygenist and we hope to be everything to our kids like how our parents are to us. I am proud of my heritage and everything it represents and others like me should as well.
Congratulations on having such a great mom! We have a large Vietnamese community here in the Dallas area, and I can vouch for them being very hardworking and decent folks.
I agree. I love the Vietnamese People as well as the Mexican American people down here in Texas. I don't get all of the racism. When I go to their stores and restaurants, it's like an adventure. The food is so interesting and the people are beautiful. I just don't get the racist down here. I work with both groups. Very professional, funny, interesting....and very sharp races of people.
The point that seems to be missed is that the traditional White majority is fading fast. Rant and rave all you want, but that is the way ti is going to turn out. Can't wait to meet an Asian redneck. Oh, maybe they won't be that ignorant. How about a Latin KKK member. Nope, don't like the hoods and robes.
I am an asian redneck. I just don't represent the rebel flag, but I love mud riding and hunting and the outdoors. Some of my asian friends make fun of me because of it, but I can't help what I love. I don't try to talk country or anything. I just like to ride 4 wheelers, go mud riding, fishing, hunting and just being out in the good out doors. I love the South and I don't think I would want to be anywhere else. Also I know a few other asian rednecks as well lol.
Cool, I'm another Asian "redneck." I live and work in the country. I drive big Chevy truck.
Not only rednecks like that kind of stuff. Much of my family use to go hunting, fishing, had big 4×4 trucks, had cabin like homes, loved guns, had ranches and went hiking and they were Hispanic.
I am an employee of a company that was started by two Asian immigrants who move to America 25 years ago. We have now more than 130 employees who are all American-born citizens and residents of a small Midwestern town. Reading some of the comments here really makes me sick because for 10 years now, despite the economic downturn, we are still stronger thanks to these two immigrants who, in my opinion, have more reasons to be considered real Americans than many of us.
I'm from India and I own a few gas stations in Texas. In my last 6 six years of experience as a owner, I have hired many Whites and Indians but no Blacks. You know why ? It's because no Blacks have come to me to ask for a job.
I don't know why they don't want to work in gas stations.
@ Raju
Is Race a factor when you hire?
No, race has never been a factor when I hire. I was just sharing my experience here. Sorry, if I offended you in anyway.
No need to apologize. I think there was an undertone. Why bring up Race?
I have hired many people, but never thought of Race when hiring. I hire only if they are good, presentable, and can do what they are hired for. Nothing else matters.
BTW: I'm not Black.
Maybe because they don't like to work for Indias Raju, sorry but you guys kind of have a reputation of low pay, and treat bad your employees, I myself have worked for Indias, the times I did were a realy bad experience. Hope you are not like them, now I do sales, and is hard to deal with them. Of course not every body act the same way, hope you are not. Regarding east asians, the same. I just wish that everybody would get alone, don't matter what race you are, just be kind to your neighbor.
Perhaps Indians do have a bad wrap, but why would that only prevent blacks from seeking employment? Doesnt add up to me.
It's not you Raju. We just don't want to be robbed.

this poll came out of rockford illinois...the second largest city in obamas home turf
I do not agree with this new police ether. Neither do I agree with the great republican Buddha Reagan’s amnesty that went much further.
the purpose of life is not about working hard. have you guys ever wondered what jesus wants from you?
If the wants of so-called Christian preachers are any indication of your Christ's will, they want your rapt attention in the pews on Sunday, ten percent of your take home in the collection basket and detailed information on every aspect of your private life, plus a say in how you vote in elections. Did I miss anything?
Not to mention that the great majority of so-called Christian preachers wouldn't know the meaning of hard work. Ditto the Catholic clergy. What a lazy and unproductive herd.
I do, do justice, love mercy and be humble beore your God.
Jesus isn’t real, he doesn’t want anything more from you than Santa Claus. And until you can prove that he WAS real and is Divine. (which your parent religion Judaism and sibling religion Islam do not consider him) the your comment is nothing short of ridiculous.
What a stupid article.
It tries so hard to compare Asians entering legally and Mexicans entering illegally.
When i see a 100,000 Asians running across the border each year then i will care.
Nothing wrong with allowing immigrants.
LEGALLY!
If you have Zero to offer, we dont want you.
I don't care if my neigbor is illegal or not, is just a paper. What I care is, if he is honest or a liar, honest or lazy, is he kind or violent? what are his values. Why you care so much about a piece of paper? If you woulded born in his country and under the same conditions like him, maybe you would be an illegal too.
If he was honest he wouldn’t be here illegally. If he was not a liar he couldn’t get a job, driver’s license or utilities in his name. Kind or violent…is a shot in the dark. His values are not mine as he blatantly commits crime after crime in the name of selfishness. Hypothetical’s are for people without a real argument. Why are you defending criminals? Seems you are not as ‘good’ a person as you think you are.
Thanks for the quote! I think my nieces and nephews are smarter than me, though LOL! They're still in their teens but tend to be more conservative than when I was their age. There is hope after all 🙂
Asian Indians must be banned from coming to US. These leeches take up all seats in Universities, colleges, retail stores and take up good paying jobs. African American minorities suffer the most. Hopefully immigration is tightened so that we can get what belongs to us, education, job, respect.
Why ? Affirmative Action is not enough for you ? These Asians work hard and don't get assistance from government like you African Americans do.
And still you want more assistance from the government ? You want to stay home and let the others work hard ?
@John
I agree with your overall point but you are wrong about Asians not getting assistance from the government. They have full access to minority scholarships and I would argue giving a student visa is assistance. Especially considering so many take their assisted education (because it wouldn’t happen without the government’s approval/assistance) and go back to their native countries to become competitors of the U.S. Now assuming Shantwana is black I agree that “African-Americans” are in no potion to be complain about preferential treatment of a minority group. They are often the biggest hypocrites there are.

Get off your ass work hard and earn education, respect and high paying jobs because I am sure that is exactly how the Asian Indian's do it. Do you think it is very easy to leave your home and pay twice of what Americans pay for tuition and get a good job & work visa wrapped in a gift?? Get over yourselves and stop blaming others for being lazy and stupid.
1. Shantwana?? Stop pretending to be a black female 'from the hood'. 2. Black women are not upset about Asians coming to America. I have never heard any such comments in 45 years of living. 3. We would be even more happy if they are willing to date women of all races.
Well aren't we rucky? Now we can expect every other customer to try and negotiate prices for non-negotiable products and services. "We just want best plice."
Does being a racist give you a deep feeling of satisfaction? Does it bolster your low self-esteem and make you feel superior? Do you really think other people don't realize what a loser you are?
Well said justaminit
I'm clapping my hands!!! hahaha..I like your commen justaminit..
You should be thankful. At least Asians get jobs and go to school, unlike some other "minorities"
I wish the following weren't true, but it is: Hispanic and black demographic groups are simply not positively contributing to this country. They are disproportionately under-represented as doctors, scientists, engineers, and technologists. Yes, yes, yes... I know some Hispanics and blacks are very successful in these fields. They are, though, the exceptions, not the rule. On the other hand, Asians - especially people from India and the Orient - are making America a much better place. It sounds cold, but I hope the Asian population in this country grows at a much faster rate than the Hispanic and black populations. Even better - Hispanics and blacks: it's time for you all to finally get yourselves highly educated. God knows you're overdue.
What field are you in? Something that doesn't require education?
Dear Confused, I mean Enfused: Yes, Blacks have a unique history. It's time, though, they stop making excuses and pick themselves up. God knows enough time has passed; god know they have opportunities. This is even truer for Hispanics who don't have nearly the same historical trauma that befell Blacks. Come on... stop making stupid and uninformed comments. I'm going to have to start charging you tuition.
Cinchy....blacks have always wanted a better way of life since being forced from Africa! 200+ plus years of living in an extreme and oppressive environment has produced a hopelessness in many blacks. Racism has caused millions of black people to suffer miserably in this country. If you are black with a degree or no degree you will never get a fair break in this country. Asians are welcomed here and will receive what we never did or will get and that is RESPECT but your ignorance prevents you from understanding this!
Dear wow: I'm not saying I like the under-performance of Blacks and Latinos, I'm saying it's time they get their act together. Of course there are successful and productive Blacks/Latinos. They are, though, a far-too-small percentage. If you can't see this, or are denying it - you probably think the world is flat and Elvis is alive and living in Dayton, Ohio. Pseudo-enlightened people like you who mistake racism with accurate reality - and attempts to rectify reality - hurt way more than you think you are helping.
American
Cinchy, here's a fact – the number of educated Hispanic Americans (especially those of Mexican and Cuban descent) in law, engineering, science and medicine has increased in the past decade, and the field is leveling out, we are attaining unprecedented levels of formal higher education than ever before, and that pattern will only continue (or "persist"). When I go to university graduations, especially in California, I see more ethnic minorities (mainly Hispanic and Asian surnames) attaining educational achievement than I've ever seen, which is a testament that times are changing and with the new growing populations, it has been empirically and quantifiably proven that so too will their educational, economic income, and social mobility increase.
(Did you not know that the largest group to collect welfare are white folks? – fact)
It is a known fact that more Hispanics are employed in this terrible US economy than most other groups – why? Simple, we have an innate ability to work extremely hard and we do our jobs competently and very well.
Here's another fact, Hispanic positive contributions to the United States are undisputedly and unequivocally established and well-known, so how dare you make a false statement, not based on fact, but based on your underlying racial animus towards us. Our history (especially my history as a Mexican American) IS American history, and American history is a conglomerate of all the past and present ethnic groups that have immigrated to the United States and have made it the great country that it is. Our U.S. states and cities have Spanish/Mexican name-origins that testify to our contributions.
Get use to the "fact" Cinchy that as our population grows, our prosperity will grow with it. We are well-represented in the judiciary, state legislature and politics, the US Congress, academia and, baby, that's where it matters! Get use to seeing us a lot more in higher places And I am neither democrat nor republican! And hell no I didn't vote for Obama. Haha.
Nothing would please me more than see Hispanics really start to embrace quality higher ed (yes, it matters where you go to college). I would love to have a Mexican-American doctor and work for a Mexican-American engineer. The upward trajectory of Hispanics in this country might be upwards - but it needs to be a lot higher. CNN themselves ran a story recently about a study showing that even after 5 generations in this country, the education level of Hispanics has not appreciably changed. Again, I hope Hispanics really are getting their act together. Lastly, you're not really confused about how more welfare recipients are white, are you??? You need to look at proportional representation, not absolute numbers. Come on.
It sounds like you're whistling as you walk past the grave yard. Asian-Americans tend to be on the opposite end of the spectrum in almost every sense compared to Hispanics. Generally speaking, the rise of Asian-American populations will not bode well for Hispanics. Asian-Americans, especially after being here a while, are very much into core Conservative values.
@Cinchy,
My take on this is that most Indians and Asians are by tradition or culture honed on to higher education, and into professional occupations like engineering, technology, sciences, and medicine.
I have often heard many Indian parents tell me that they would gladly live under a bridge to pay for educational expenses of their children – specially to Ivy League schools. Education is paramount for them.
There is another factor, Asians have very strong family units, and children are never pressed to leave home, be independent financially & be on their own, specially when continuing their education, like medicine.
In the end, education & sacrifice pays off.
For whatever reason, and unfortunately, for many Blacks and Hispanics, education has never been high up in the totem pole. Earning lots of money, maybe, but not education. Nowadays, we also see many Whites kids not being interested in advanced education & falling into this same trap.
Knowledge is power, and world will always belong to people who have knowledge.
Cinchy is not that hispanics don't want to be succeful, you have to understand, that alot of this people came little bit to old to this country, where are very little opportunities to have an education, you are comparing a developed country like china, with lets say Gatemala, not a chance! way different. Also consider that most of the hispanic immigrants are economic immigrants, most of the well educated people in this countries do not emmigrate, they don't need to, if they have an education is because his family had the means to do it. Specially if this uneducated people are from villages.
@ Cinchy
100% correct. This is not an opinion and I’m sorry for those who are offended by statistical facts… but that’s your issue.
@ enufsed
No black alive today was a slave. Neither were there parents or grandparents. They have more government assistance than any group in history from Affirmative action to a disproportionate number of welfare recipients. They have no excuse for their failure as a culture.
@ American
To your first statement, I can find not FACTs to back up your claim.
(Did you not know that the largest group to collect welfare are white folks? – fact) – half truth more like it. If you were as educated as you think you are would know how statistics work. There are more whites on welfare before they are 70% of the population. The part you MISS or IGNORE is the percentage. Black are DISPROPORTIONATELY on welfare and commit crime. Now sir THAT is a fact. Hispanics are not much better when looking at the numbers.
I stopped reading after that, you only get two strikes in my book.
@ Cinchy
100% correct. This is not an opinion and I’m sorry for those who are offended by statistical facts… but that’s your issue.
@ enufsed

Did you picked by a Latin or Black person? I know you're Asian & want to portray your people in a good light, but why do you have to demonize other ethnic groups? There are flaws to Asians also, mainly, Asian men... they aren't exactly the most "desired" men for Caucasian, Latin, or Black women to want now... that's exactly why Asian are the least married ethnic group of males-but don't angry, be proactive & it doesn't start by dissing others, but by instilling pride in yourself, and showing that you deserve respect!
What difference does it make what ethnic group one is from, most people can't get along with the family that lives right next door.
heck, most people can barely get along with their own families
Seriously? Asians in the US are far more educated than Latinos and you're saying this doesn't matter? Here's a dose of reality: America benefits way, way more from Asian immigrants than it does from Hispanic immigrants. You need to up your game. Come on.
Lol you must be Asian ...
Does every sign, announcement, and customer service message in Mexico include a variety of languages? It seems to me you're looking at that a bit backwards. Spanish is the only language, aside from English, that I hear when calling private or public services, or see on signs throughout my community. I don't Asian languages, Arabic, Russian, etc. Obviously Spanish speaking people are accomodated in this way uniquely among all groups of immigrants.
the reason that a large chinese girls marry out is part of china's espionage scheme. soon china will know all our secrets inside out.
A chinese girl wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot bo.
LATINO and HISPANIC are two different words, therefore have different meaning. It's amazing how the so call journalist is using both words as if they are the same. And for some Latinos, be called Hispanic is an offense, the same way you call all Americans, Canadians – just because they are located in North America.
"LATINO and HISPANIC are two different words, therefore have different meaning"
That's so illogical. I know many words in the English language that are 'two different words', BUT have the same meaning.
But you do need to explain why it is insulting for Hispanics to be called Latinos and the other way around, specially when people are not aware of any deep racial/ethnic divisions?
I really don't think it's a big deal. The essence is in the intent.
Hispanic and Latino are two very different things. Hispanics are people from Spanish decent (even part Spanish) which also applies to almost every Latin American country, Brazil being the largest exemption. Latino is someone who descends from Latin America including Brazil, Haiti, French Guyana, etc.
Well about Hispanic and Latino, there are lot to say, and there are many opinions about it. To understand it, you have to see the roots of the words.
Hispanic come from the word Hispania, wich is the name of the peninsula that are composed by Spain and Portugal
Latino comes from the word Latin, wich is the language spoken in the Roman Impire and now is spoken in the Vatican,
so, because that a latino would be someone that his mother language descend from latin, such as a italian, romenian, spanish, portugues, and so on.
And hispanic someone descended from the hispanic or iberian peninusula, in this case couldbe also a spaniyard, mexican, colombian and so.
About latinoamericans, and hispanoamaericans, we are a group of ethnic groups, white, black, amerindian, asians, and so, that have in common a cultural heritage and lenguage, spanish and portuguess. Complicated? I know, you got to see our family pic!! 😦
Asian's are smart beautiful people and usually come to our country with something to offer. The bonus is they don't come to our country illegally, have a bunch of kids and feed off our government. They enrich our country and most are Republicans, even better!.
Hmmm....well, most are Democrats, bu nice try.
Your kool-aid is generic. Mine is the real thing.
So, you don't like Mexicans, because they are ugly?
I didn't say that. I have several relatives that are Mexican (Quite beautiful at that). However, their ansestory came here ligally.
Who in their right mind would be so lazy that they would expose thier infants to drugs,gangs, and poor education on a daily basis?Who would subject themselves to being away from thier children for years in order to just suck a country dry?What idiot would subject themselves to the predjudice and ignorance that is pervasive in some pockets of this country?After reading these post I am amazed by the lack of humility.It is so easy to judge others and celebrate the fact that you are a part of some celebrated race.As if you chose to be a part of that race.As if you earned your place in that race.If I could choose a race for my child it would be the race of privilege.Who wants thier child to face predjudice and racism?Many of you are wondering and probably wondering who the priviledge race is that I am speaking of.Why not refer back to Hitler?Some of you certainly sound like him.Btw.Internet history is forever.Perhaps your words will come back to haunt you one day.
Came from Asia 15 years ago, worked hard (16 hours/ day) now my three children are MDs...not just ordinary MD but neurosurgeons.... no access card, no freebees from government, pays taxes on time (payroll deducted taxes $2,500 every 15 days), no divorce, children respects us 100%, what student loans?...
your kids all went through med school in the US without taking out any student loans?
Well if the priorities are right why would the kids need loans when the parents can pay for their college and med school?
Asian parents tend to put a lot of stock in setting their children up for success in the future. Usually that translates to giving them the best education they can buy. They see it as an investment. After all, many Asian cultures swap rolls meaning that the parent that provides for their children will be taken care of in old age by those children. I'm not saying that applies to everyone, but I've seen the premise at work and it's still a reasonable expectation for those who have left their original country within a generation or so.
chingchong, you are hillarious. i laughed like crazy.
We must adopt a firm policy of stopping access to this country. It matters not from whence they came, the problem is that they are here. Our leaders are their to protect the interests of Americans, and their failure to close the borders is allowing the destruction of my country. Get aliens off my land, off my roads, out of my schools, and out of my pocket. Do it now, Obama.
The Asians I know work harder and produce more value for this country than the native born whites I know. They don't ask for hand outs, they triple up in homes to save money, help each other out and get ahead in business and education. They make better citizens than too many whites who are natural born and have a chip on their shoulder about how much better some immigrants do than they did, like you perhaps.
Well accept the United States of America was created, shaped and still is influenced by immigrants. What is the Native Americans secured the Americas? You wouldn't be posting the same ignorance you are now.
A lesson in history one of the many ignorant American. United States is a country of immigrants, remember how your ancestors murdered the native's and took over the land when they immigrated here?? Growing stronger by immigration has been the foundation of this country.. You are such a fool!!
Asking Obama to get rid of the immigrants seems silly since Obama has ruled leniently in favor of immigrants in the very recent past... And seriously... unless you're a Native American ie. "savage Indian"... you're as much an immigrant as the rest of us. (sorry about the "savage indian" comment...that was meant to be totally sarcastic. I was having trouble thinking of a good way to destinguish between Native Americans and... well... real Indians from India...)
I'm an Asian immigrant with a college degree. I also tend to vote Republican. I used to be a Democrat but as I got older, I feel like I identify more with conservative values.
somehow if he saw today's American conservative movement, I think he may regret that statement.
Hi Lila,
Do you agree with how the GOP attacks the undocumented residents?
My main issue with conservative Asians is how they deny opportunities to other immigrants, the same opportunity that allowed them to come to the good US & A. Conservative & religious Latinos and Vietnamese often fit in this category. A perfect example is how New Mexico Governor, Susana Martinez, illegally arrived in the US as an "anchored" baby but forcefully denies others the same opportunity granted upon her. It's a conundrum that I can't seem to figure out.
I bet if you include the ones who came in illegally those numbers won't hold up.
You apparently didn't read the article. "The Pew survey looked at recent arrivals of people with both legal and unauthorized status, as well as those arriving with work, student or other temporary visas."
That's fine with me. Asian babes are my favorite, but there plenty of hot Latina girls out there too. Variety is great!
What about Asian men?
I wish everybody have your spirit, insted of complaining about it, let's enjoy diversity!! arriva arriva!!!!
After this article aired, Obama is now offering tax breaks for businesses dealing in laundry cleaning and Asian Buffets.
Step aside, we asians are continuing the invasion! ALL YOUR MATH PROBLEMS ARE OURS!!!! We don't care about your women, we only want the maths. Ahh yes, the maths. Can't restrain myself checking out those hot figures all day long.
I am an Asian American male, and the problem that I see with Asian immigration is that Asian babes run after White guys. What do they have that I do not ?
🙂 🙂 🙂
Scott
... more 😉
Scott
I'm white and have many asian friends- and this really is an issue and angers many asian-american men
Truth can hurt
You are correct. Asians, probably because of the British influence, feel socially "upgraded" if they are seen with and consort with white people.
Really? You seriously don't know?
You should already know that they're running away from their over-bearing, controlling, hyper-opinionated fathers. Don't repeat that pattern, and you'll likely not have to witness your daughters doing the same.
No one person, or race of people, have a 'lock' on being brilliant.
You are probably right, but the rest of like to believe that the answer is anatomical.
Im half Vietnamese and half white and honestly a lot of my Vietnamese friends that are girls date Vietnamese guys and only know a small percent who date white guys. I have noticed that a lot of Phillipino women date guys that are not Phillipino which there is nothing wrong with that, but from what I have seen from all my Vietnamese friends they all date Vietnamese or some other asian ethnicity.
I'm an Asian woman... and I run because Asian men tend to treat women differently than white men. I acknowledge that there are many more white men around so I'm not claiming ALL white men are better... I just look for the guys who have the personality (and physical) characteristics I'm looking for. They tend to be white. 😛
Do you really think that we are this stupid? Asian's may be the biggest group who is legally trying to enter the country. But not the biggest group if you count those strolling across our southern borders.
At least most of them learn English.
This study is awful in reinforcing blanket stereotypes. I live in L.A. where the majority of folks are either Latino or Asian and can tell you that the most of folks in either category that I know (family, friends, neighbors and co-workers) all have a great work ethic and they ALL place a great deal of importance on family - regardless of what country they came from in Asia or Latin America. As far as education, I just attended a graduation at Cal State L.A. where the vast majority of surnames were either Asian or Latino. The best thing is that there is an increasing amount of intermarrianges in this area between Asians and Hispanics (mostly Chinese and Mexican), and it's definitely changing the way we live - and eat. Ever heard of Kogi Tacos? Mmmm.... deeelish!
Yo, Yau, 1895 is calling and wants you back.
The GOP is not against immigration as long as you are white and speak fluent english.
Even better if you are educated and have the looks of a model, Sofia \Vergara said in SNL that she never suffered descrimation in ths country, alot of men were asking, come to my hose, you can sleep here.:-)
We're a sovereign country. Immigration is invasion. Treat it as such. It is everyone's duty to work as hard as we can to yell, scream, write your congressman, and win over the masses to keep our country from being conquered by these invaders. Stop international bolshevism and you'll go a long way to rid the problem of immigration. No immigration is the goal.
Greece's Golden Dawn, the Czech Workers' Party, the British National Party, and the Klan would all agree with you. Hooray for a pure-white America! Oh boy.
This is fantastic news to me. Asian Immigrants come here, don't expect special treatment, take it in turn for the entire family to learn English, want to be integrated into American culture, are respectful, and most of them are polite and kind and that is a far cry from what I see from Latino Immigrants who come here, don't give a rats a_s about this country, throw their trash anywhere, drive freeway speeds down residential streets, put enoumous strains on our schools because of all the extra attention that is required to make special concessions to them when the money could be better used to elevate the schools as a whole. Worst of all, they say they want "respect" but don't seem to want to show or give any. Why is it that Latinos are so selective about their so-called "Conservative" thinking, they sure don't practice birth control but sure line up to vote for the one part that advocates abortion which of course is in complete contradiction to their Roman Catholic ways. What hypocrits!!!
Clearly you are part of the problem. Since you unflinchingly lump all Latinos into one category and mark them as people to be disrespected, how can you expect them to respect you (and America as a whole)? Also, you expect everyone to learn English but America does not have an official national language. Have you attempted to learn any Spanish, Chinese, Korean, etc? If you are sticking to your own roots and not making an effort to engage the people you apparently despise, nothing good can come of it.
Well said Timothy
Who would an American need to learn Korean?
Could not have siad it better myself. You are a "True American"!!!!
I just drove through Philadelphia this morning at 10:00 am. The streets were filled with young males, standing on corners, drinking beer, throwing empty cans on the street. No one was working or doing anything constructive. Not Asians, not Mexicans, but blacks...and, they've been here a long time. Sad really.
Ever since black people were forced to this country they have been at a disadvantage. Whipped, beaten and hated with a system that has helped to suppress their education and financial liberties for hundres of years. Hopelessness is the result. What you saw is hopeless black males who cannot get a job because of fear and racism from society in general. Many black men want to work and be productive but most companies do not want black males working for them.
I have tutored English as a Second Language for 9 years. It is almost impossible to recruit and retain dedicated tutors – people had much rather complain that immigrants don't want to learn English! I know many Latino families and I assure you they DO practice birth control. Some have one child, most have only 2 and a couple have 3 children. Not one of the many couples I know have more than that!! They are hard-working, loving parents who want to provide the best they can for their children and realize the best way to do that is by limiting the size of their families. They aren't getting welfare checks, so they aren't going to be subsidized for having more kids! I am white, 64 years old, and I have learned some Spanish so I could be a better tutor and friend. As part of a medical mission team to impoverished areas of Mexico, I have seen firsthand the conditions that drive people to risk their lives to come to this country to seek better lives for their families. These brave, wonderful immigrants make good, dependable employees, fine and helpful neighbors, and dear friends. That is what I have found, because I have taken the time to get to know them. And frankly, that is what is threatening to many of our so-called citizens. They would much rather be mired in their prejudice than admit that they are being shown up for the shallow, selfish, lazy, self-righteous bigots they are
One of my friend's mother worked as a ESL teacher, she only knew two languages; English and Spanish. She couldn't teach much of the class because most there spoke Chinese.
"Ramakrishnan said the Vietnamese were also the only subgroup that tended to vote Republican but that is changing given anti-immigration positions and other exclusionary measures supported by some GOP lawmakers."
This is misleading if not dishonest. GOP, or Republicans are not against immigration, only against illegal immigration. Immigrants know this well despite PEW’s assertions.
This is part of the game the the komrade libs, like Moni Basu of Communist News Network, plays. This libs group both ILLEGAL aliens and legal immigrants into the same bucket. Then in their little "minds" they "think" that they can then brand We The People as against immigration. NOTHING can be further from the truth. I have yet to run into a conservative (disregard the komrade lib trolls) that is against LEGAL immigration.
Scott
Great, not the GOP can direct their hatred against another group.No cause for alarm, the GOP has more than enough hatred and bigotry to go around.
I wonder if they are counting the illegals too that there isnt a true count for. If they count all the illegals, well the mexicans have them beat.
Since they come legally and go right to work, this is great news
Please allow Immigrants to immigrate through military service. USCIS is having big difficulties in converting Green Card Holders to citizens. why ? because when the money is out, all will go back home ' reverse migration" as occuring among many Indian And Chinese nationals who have bee very successful in the US. Irish and Italian Americans never went back, why because when you fight and die for something you dont jump ship. My opinion, have three types of Visas – 10 yr work/ Business Visas, Work/ Business 30 Year Green Cards (with upgrade to Citizenship), Life time Green Card with Citizenship Upgrade ( Military Service/celebrity/Humanitarian/ Special Achievement).
we don't need more military servicemembers. We are downsizing as it is.
why not? ive been in this country illegally since 5. when my parents brought me illegally i didn't realize i was an illegal until i turned 18 and graduated high school. All i want to do is Serve this country. i took 4 years of AFJROTC i cannot wait till i get the opportunity to enlist. its the only country i know and remember i would die for them.
I agree that in my experience Latinos (Mexicans at least, I don't have experience as to other groups) in general have a strong work ethic. But that's not the problem. They compete with citizens for unskilled labor jobs and drive down wages for those jobs. I know a guy, a small business owner who employs a lot of Mexican "immigrants." It's funny how this guy is Mr. Ultra-Right Wing on every issue EXCEPT immigration. He loves hiring illegals because they provide him hard work at rock-bottom wages.
And yes, they also do take advantage of all free social services they can, like charity hospital services. Heck, I would too if I were them. But this costs our country a lot of money and they do not ultimately add value to our economy.
How about we start by getting rid of that politically correct term, (whatever ethnic, origin or religious) American. One is either American or not. If one wants to be ethnic, religious or whatever else first, then renounce your citizenship and go back to your country of origin, however far back that might be.
Then most of us are outta here.
Not necessarily. Notice I opined that we are Americans first,THEN whatever after that. So, no all of us would stay. You completely missed my meaning, it would seem.
My apologies Robert, it seems I did.
Brilliant! I guess the Native Americans will need to go back to their country of .. uh.. finish that sentence for me.
Bingo! Everyone else needs to go back where they came from. Should have sealed the borders a loooong time ago.
Their country of origin is Asia. How ironic is that. EVERYONE is an immigrant in this country – yes even the "natives"
DL, you are awesome. I love your statement!
The problem with the Latinos is that all the $ they make in the U.S. is sent back to their selective countries. Plus, its an autrocity that none of the Latinos try and learn our language or assimilate to our core values. Hell, there trying to make America into The United States of Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what exactly is "our" language? Ohhh.. you must be talking about the official language of this country. Which is....???? Anyone???
Well? Anyone? Funny no one wants to answer my question. My grandmother spoke no English at all.. but no one seemed to care.. because she spoke French. She was complimented on her language and accent. I find that a little strange.
@Are you kidding me...you are awesome! I've been trying to educate people who claim that immigrants need to speak "our language", and I tell them that we in the US don't have a national language; then they think I'm crazy, lol. We don't have a national language people!
That language would be English, set by national precedent and the requirement of a mastery of the English language for official government posts.
You nailed it right on the head, Michael Jordan from an Arizona native.
Hmm, Reading that diatribe, you need to go back and learn English also!
Truth
Imagine that! All the money I used to make was now given to the asians. Maybe if they are here in this country, it will be spent here in this country. By the way, if you are talking about illegal hispanics, they pay taxes just like you and I do. The difference is that they don't file taxes for fear of being caught. That means everything they pay in stays in the system with no income tax refund. Given the wages they are paid, it is safe to assume they would get it all back if they did file.
Illegals don't pay taxes!! That is not true, I do pay taxes since when the goverment ask for permition, to take taxes from your pay roll? 😦
Are you ignorant? Do not say no because you are. Mexico's official name is the United States of Mexico; no wonder the United States of America is falling behind academically. I am a "Latino" and I do not send my money away to other countries and I am also fluent in English as you can see; then again you see nothing more than a narrow view of the world around you and all you do further perpetuate it in your statement.
Not exactly, Latinos/Hispanics are the same as French Canadians are in Canada-we are a nation within a nation–we're the majority in most places in California, Texas, New Mexcio now, and not far behind in Arizona, Nevada, and Colarado... You say "our" values as if they're yours-many California laws are actually based of Spanish laws, such as community property-so mean "our" values....Remember, this our homeland, you're actually the newcomer!
are you mad because you lay brick and barely know how to use a computer... all simply because youve been a 'tough guy' all your life? lol
Many Asians have better work ethics because it's ingrained in them since childhood. Look at the educaitonal statistics of Asian countries in general. They are smarter in many fields and some have a longer school week and year compared to the United States. They understand that education is not the answer but it does help in furthering one's life in many areas. They are more willing to make sacrificies along the way to reach their goals for the overall family instead of sacrificing the family to reach their goals. They understand respect and manners better. You will probably never find an Asian child disrespecting their elders or parents in ways American children do now. Asian children quickly adapt to being better disciplined than a bunch of American kids. I'm referencing Asian and American kids because there are stark differences between them. I understand both because I'm half Asian and have seen families from both sides.
Not only do Asians typically work harder, they choose more lucrative fields of study. Law, medicine, engineering... not art history, liberal arts or music.
In intermarriages (Asian + White), guess who gets the say in child's education, yeppppp...Asian..
You are right
You're absolutely right. I am part Asian and I can say that in general that has mostly been my observation. I think the values that we espouse regarding family, work, sacrifice and education are a clarion call to all Americans to re-discover what some Euro-Americans like to describe as "their" "Puritan Ethic".
Nothing "puritan ethic" about striving to havebe rich at all cost... .actually love of money as in the Asian society is anti puritan and anti-biblical.
But the ethic you speak of is..totally the ethic of the Religion known as Americanism, sometime confused with Christianity or Puritanism as you stated but totally different ad created by non Christians...Deist to be exact who took the parts of Christianity and whatever other influence they liked, and tossed out the rest.
I get what your saying my2cents. Americans have lost their moral soul, or many of them in the Democrat field unfortunately. In the past, it used to be that Democrat morality was one with fiscal responsibility but not anymore. Now the Republicans are fighting against fiscal morality in many issues while still upholding family and moral values (traditional marriage, pro-life issues). Personally, I rarely agree with GOP fiscal decisions but I applaud the moral family values. I hope Asian voters fight for moral family values because Obama is a big time gay marriage supporter.
Hi Mei,
You speak of moral family values, what is that to you exactly? Will you consider it moral to deny relations to a loved one, a family member, spouse, or child, because s/he is homosexual? Will you cut ties with your daughter if she chooses to abort a child impregnated by a rapist? It is unfair to generalize and to impose your singular tunnel vision onto others.
We don't need North Meheco.
Give Mexico back what was theirs.. problem solved.
As long as they got here illegally, sure.
I totally disagree. We live in the North East. All Latinos here are on Gov't programs. 90% of the white population here work.
ALL Latinos? Really? ALL? I actually know a few from the NE, and gee, they aren't on govt programs. Hmmmm.. sounds like someone is watching way too much TV. ALL???? Oh my God. This country is really in denial.
gotta remember that it's not just mexican. in the north east there are more south americans. In i'm sounding like a broken record but all latinos are not the same people/culture. not that many care
Well of course they are Bernie. They all crossed "our" border from the south.. they have have dark skin...most speak Spanish.. so they must all be the same. That's what we do here in the USA,, stereotype. If we didn't, there wouldn't be 8,000 comments on this article.
The nice thing is they don't need OWEbamas handouts.
Get the stats on who ard taking the handouts buddy. It's not who everyone would like to believe. It's people who have had ancestors here for generations. Ignorance is bliss.
I have a question: Are Indians Mexicans?
No. Native americans are Indians. Indians are asians , Asians are chinese and Latinos are mexican, and americans are democrats and republicans
Latino is a term that refers to poeple of Latin America which includes Honduras, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Cuba, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc. not just Mexico.
NO.. mexicans are of spanish and Aztec decent..
American Natives are not aztec... I know cause I am native american..
So the answer is NO......
Wrong. Mexicans can be either full Native American, full European, full African or mixed with any. Not all Mexicans are mixed with the Aztecs, there were many other indigenous groups around.
Difference Number 1: A huge majority of the Asian immigrants are taking the LEGAL route.
Difference Number 2: A huge majority of the Asian immigrants are learning English and becoming part of the American culture, rather than trying to make America into Mexico North.
Well, alot of what is now the US was once Mexico. But, we took it like we do everything else we want. And FYI.. English is not our official language. And it's not like we speak proper English anyway. It's a broken, Americanized English. But I guess that's ok.. after all, this is the greatest country on Earth. We are always right, and everyone else is always wrong.
what exactly is broken about American English??? someone has an inferiority complex
There is something very positive to be said about immigrants who arrive legally and who make real efforts to integrate. This is true no matter what country it is. People immigrating to another country should learn to speak and write the language proficiently. In the past few decades, more and more immigrants retreat to enclaves and never learn the language in the USA. In Miami, for example, all the public signge is in both English and Spanish and a large subsection of the population there has been here for decades and still don't speak English. This also applies for native-born people as well. Ebonics is completely unacceptable. All people living in a country should be proficient in the official language. I know people who came from China a few decades ago who STILL don't speak English. I've learned both Spanish and Mandarin so there's just no excuse.
@Are you kidding me?
Actually we bought it. No one is going to take you seriously if you don’t even know basic American history.
Those numbers were from legal migration numbers btw.
I don't mind the asians as much is I do the mexicans ...not all but a lot are violent criminals ....and a lot of them take advantage of the generocity of the united states ....cheating the welfare system excetera
We are also experts in kung fu, karate, nunchucks and we can throw darts at amazing speed.
see and you have a great sense of humor too
don't forget born excelling in math.
eddy: "Now i will prove you wrong
Do you read or like Sarah Palin you dont know what you are talking about???"
Lol, brilliant. You "prove" my criticism of your non-sequitur "wrong" by coming up with yet another non-sequitur.
You have to be trolling.
I don't mind the Asians coming here because they take jobs that no one in America wants. You know things like biostatisticians, radiologists, physicists, mechanical engineers. Okay every once in a while, you see one taking tolls or managing a McDonalds, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Oh, thank you! I needed that. I was thinking that I speak five European languages, and I better add Chinese to the list. I told my kids they would be better off learning Chinese than Spanish.
So do the mexicans - window washers, grass cutters, garbage collectors, and they do it with pride too. We need these immagrants because many places I go to eat and shop in the US are short staffed and display "now hiring" signs. In a place where people are complaining that there's no work... it's pretty clear who has initiative and who doesn't.
They are not hiring because they already employ the illegal Mexican who works for cheap under the table and can’t complain and working conditions.
You meant Hot Dogs?
Students from Asian countries were top performers in math and science at both the fourth and eighth grade levels, according to the most recent reports of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), released by the study's directors Michael O. Martin and Ina V.S. Mullis of Boston College
Now we wonder why American students are not top performers, could it be they are busy catching up on Jersy shore, the kardashians?
white men are bringing in the asian women through marriages of convenience. they are ordering their women like buying a bra from the victoria's secret catalog....FACT!
I get it. If you add the word "fact" to the end of your post, it somehow adds legitimacy to your stupid comment. Is that how it works?
So you are saying that we are buying our bras already loaded? that is just smart American ingenuity.
yep. that's what i'm saying.
I think you are getting your Russians and Orientals and underwear all mixed up. These types of mixups are typical to insects and birds due to their extremely small brains.
That is still true now a days BUT at a lesser occurrence.
Can't deny that some women come here from Asia that way. But correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have the numbers to prove it, but I would have to assume that's a pretty small number of the Asian American population. I'm no mail order bride, so already you have one Asian American that doesn't fit within your statement.
Illegal immigrants are all over the world. They are not "invading" into anybody's lives. In the case of the United States of America, these immigrants are taking the jobs that the Americans are TOO PROUD to do ie. bussing tables, washing other people's dirty laundry, food delivery, garbage pick-up, cleaning toilets, factory work, etc. So, be thankful that your dirty jobs are being picked up after you while these immigrants are being underpaid and overworked. Don't judge them unless if you've been in their shoes!
If the lazy Americans would get off their couch potato butts and just get a job (ANY JOB) to survive and pay bills and stop being a show off by spending what they DO NOT have, our country would not be in the situation it's in today, and social security will not be drained out. So, don't complain about how bad your life is. FIX IT. ACT ON IT! Don't wait for someone else to pay for your foreclosed home and your credit card debts. Only in America, would you get assistance from the government. In a different country, it's a DOG EAT DOG WORLD. You don't work, you don't eat or live. Simple as that.
Ya keep thinking that libmoron. Well Im white and American and I bussed tables, I picked and drove Oranges in North Dakota..Now as yourself will an American do it for 2 dollars an hour? nope. But then again I am against slavry. Democrats and Liberals aparently think its OK to use brown people as slave labor.
Picked oranges in ND?? They grow things in ND, but Oranges isn't one of them.
that's the thing we have to stop using extremes. libs are not using browns as "slave labor" there is no conspiracy. liberals just think with more empathy sometimes at the expense of practicality. Conservatives usually think more practical at the expense of humanity. Gov't may have ulterior motives but us citizens lib or con just want goodness in all our lives
OK well that sounds like the same bigoted generalizations that the bigoted generalizers do. Understandable from where you stand but still wrong and not an educated view but an anger fueled view. My son bussed tables, mowed lawns and went to college at same time and he is an American of Italian and German descent. Frankly we could have payed everything for him but we did not and he decided on his own that if he wanted to do extra things while in college that he needed a source of money and he worked on obtaining several and did his school and extra money work in top fashion being very good at both and never asked me or his mom for skiing money or other extra activity funds.
Why are you trying to act like your kid getting a job for spending money, when you've already paid for his schooling and all his needs, is a noble thing? Get over yourself and get over your kid.
"Most [Asians] tend to vote Democratic. " Yet most of them support Republican themes like traditional marriage, no handouts, etc. This demonstrates that political parties really mean nothing; it's just whatever candidate appeals to you more. As an immigrant, Obama obviously holds more appeal since his mixed heritage is well known.
No, we vote Democrat because we beleive everyone should have the same rights. Whether you are gay, straight, or whatever. That everyone should have the same chance in the world, not just how much money you have. Also, that everyone should be given chances when they are down, now just "raise urself by ur boot straps".
Please mention the 20 million illegal mexicans that have turned California into mexifornia.
eddy: "Nah are you unemployed ?"
Brilliant non-sequitur. Feel foolish? Change the subject. Get trolled? Change the subject. Someone proves you wrong? Change the subject.
It must be nice being a simpleton.
I am an Asian immigrant and was adopted from Korea when I was 4 years old. Reading many of these comments below only remind me of the bullying and ignorance that I faced every day. I am not sure why CNN would place a report like this, knowing it would just add fuel to the fire of bigots. It is disgusting to see how many of you find your offensive comments humorous, yet they are at someone else’s expense. This coming from people that have never left the U.S. and completely ignorant to this topic.
I guess intelligent conversations can't exist with many of CNN's readers.
I would not put much into the goof comments, all groups have their time for being picked on. When I was young it was Italians- a little wine a little crime. Now I laugh at that and realize we have made great contributions just like many Asians already have to the United States. Oh keep in mind that Fox cut out most comments so there is large influx of angry users from there that are not really happy to be here on these comments so they act out a bit more and some are just tatards.
Dear Korean American...I am sure that you have NEVER made a joke, teased or done ANYTHING at ANYONES expense right. I bet your the most upstanding moralistic person in the entire world. Mother Teresa (if she were alive) would have your babies. So settle down Mr. Kimchi
I don't know; we seem to have SOME intelligent back and forth. I kind of enjoy poking holes in the overly stated, erronious assumptions that are posted here.
Still, you do have a point about CNN's motives... what possible good could come from reporting these statistics this way? It could so easily lead to prejudice and unreasoning hate. Which is again why I've decided to add my two cents worth... better to dispell ignorance with... perhaps "truth" is too strong a word. Let's just call it another humble opinion 🙂
Nah are you unemployed ?
USA = 72% Whites, 12% Blacks, 5% Asians. for all those talking negatively about Asians– think this statement. if you were to send 2 whites out and bring 1 Asian in, USA will still be doing better than what it is today. That tells you the trash that exists here.
Excellent!
My H1b expired, otherwise I would have started a new company here.
This notion of Asian as some monloithic group is ridiculous. Clearly folks from Pakistan or India, are not culturally or racially the same as people in Korea or China. They even speak an Indo European language to boot. The sae can be said with regard to Hispanics. It seems that many in the US have a very ignorant viewing things.
Actually, a new study has found that Indians are from the same group of people who migrated to Europe thousands of yrs ago. It' s obvious that those living in hotter places get darker as generations go by.
The French don't even change their underwear. Forget about taking a shower.
There will be more automobile accidents, but we'll be better prepared with statistics
Moral of the story – Asians come here legally – Hispanics break the law...Many Asians are proud to be in America and take advantage of it's opportunities, not it's handouts. Many Hipanics try to change America to the rat hole they fled from and only come here for the freebies given by the tax payer +++(Those millions of Hispanics that do come here leagally are more than likely productive, proud American citizens)
100% correct. I’m dating one of those productive ones. Something about having to work to get here helps them appreciate being an American.
very true
Asians would come here illegally and just as often if they lived in a troubled country that bordered America. Only a willfully ignorant fool would ignore the obvious differences in location.
You be the judge
I like my curry
Why won't the US do something to protect our borders? If we had better border protection, then we wouldn't have to worry about what to do with illegals in the first place. If we can't keep out people wanting to come here for a better life, then what about terrorist? Homeland security is a joke.
Native Indians should have done a better job at protecting their borders
Or should I say native Americans?
Yes I agree but now we simply have to use our casinos to get back as much as we can. If we were better at border patrol instead of showing them how to use a fish to plant corn we might still have our country but casinos is all we have now so lets use them.
Yawn.
Agreed… yawn.
(funny side note, during colonial expansion in the ‘new world’ there were no immigration laws, drivers licences, few public services and even few tax laws. But hey.. this is completely the same thing as what happen hundreds of years ago. Might as well complain about every culture that has been conquered through history.)
Well science says that native Americans came over a land bridge from Asia so maybe this is a blessing to be reunited like East and West Germany. I am sure the Asians will be open to sharing in the casinos and they can help a great deal with good math and business sense to expand them astronomically. wow white,black and brown now have a scenario to fear.
OK the race is on, Asians overtook Latinos now who will be the first to drop Latinos like hot potatoes and smile real big and welcome all Asians. They have more money, better at math, less street gang more high level organized crime, they are just all around better immigrants so will it be Barry or Mitt to embrace the Asian race.
I am betting on Mitt. Asians are better immigrants and the good looking women are really good looking. On the other hand they don't mow lawns or pick crops so that is a problem but their women whoa.
Except Chinese
If Asians are such super immigrants they would be smart enough to not fall for the pandering, lying, flip-flopping hypocrite, job liquidator who says anything to get a vote.
I don't know Obamo is pretty quick to give a group what he thinks thye want to hear if he thinks that means votes.
Projecting Romney's failings onto Obama doesn't actually rewrite reality, tool.
Most Asians that live here can"t vote OR just don't vote, plus they speak languages as different from night & day from each other-Get an Indian and a Chinese together-their cultures are as different than Germany is with Ethiopia. The only thing they have in common is that they're from the continent of Asia...Remember, the U.S. is different than most places that distinquish South Asians as Asians from Orientals or East Asians as most countries in Europe do.
Are the making Fast and Furious 6? Maybe the need more Asians to drive all the rice burners in the movie?
Ah, summer is here and the xenophobia is in full bloom... They ain't like us! Be afraid! Be afraid!
Ah, summer is here and liberals still get trolled right and left.
Must say something about your intelligence, your cognitive bias and your inability to analyze situations and facts.
Nah is an unemployed redneck, who is bitter about having a black President and now having more immigrants smarter than him coming to a country which his ancestors took from someone else by force.
eddy: "Nah is an unemployed redneck, who is bitter about having a black President and now having more immigrants smarter than him coming to a country which his ancestors took from someone else by force."
Aww, did I really make you so mad that you had to resort to childish name calling?
You poor thing 😦
They love you long time.
Not a suprise that an offensive comment would be made by a tea bagger.
It’s not my intent to be mean when I ask, but I must know what on Earth compelled you to bring this topic to light? I am talking about intent. More importantly, what is it you expect your readers do with this information? Are you boosting or are you some amateur alarmist? I just don’t understand the reason for it. Perhaps you would be so kind as to respond to my post with some sound explaination.
The intent is to keep the focus on the racial aspect as opposed to the legality issue. While some people would prefer no one enter the country at all, the vast majority on the 'conservative' side take issue with the legality of a person who enters the country not their race. By focusing on the race issue this article is basically saying "See all you racists trying to keep Mexicans out, its really the Asians who are taking over America!! Worry about them instead".
Asians are being brought in by companies needing cheap educated workers. Republicans want to attach a green card to every one of them. They said so in the Republican debates...It's just cheap Hispanic labor they yell about publicly for the low information voters in the Republican base....
Based on what crazy theory? I wasn't brought over for cheap labor. I was adopted........
Stop stereotyping your conspiracy theory.
You do realize this isn't an either or thing, right? That multiple things can simultaneously be the case? Not that I am agreeing with his story, I'm just pointing out that your logic is r etarded.
cheap??? Did you read how much Asians make?
Did you read what you just wrote? You are everything you call Republicans.
aww you are so sweet!
I was not brought here for cheap labor. As a nurse and years of experience outside US, I believed i helped this country's economy by paying taxes. With the economy going downhill, few things need to change. America has not seen the worst. Native or immigrant everyone need to remember that when economy is bad, corruption is at its worse. Unfortunately looking on race and colors won't help at all.
If they really wanted cheap labor, they would have the Asians laboring in their own country, not provide them with green cards. Those Asians that do end up in "cheap labor" jobs tend to be illegal and thus have no better options. Either they chose to come here to try and pursue a better life or they were sold in human trafficing. Otherwise it's not uncommon to see Asians in many of the highly educated professions.
The cost of border crossing for Asian is around $20,000 + .
If it cost $20,000 to cross our borders, then maybe the government should get in on it. We can't seem to stop them anyway. This would go a long way in reducing our deficit.
Does these number include ALL asians including Indians, Pakistanis, etc?
You know full well that the common term "Asian" refers only to people from east Asia.
Get over it and stop being a pedantic as_s hole.
only in America people are dumb enough not to include Indians (more than a billion people ) in the Asian population
I don't think it's a pedantic question at all.
What do you call people from India, Pakistan, and neighboring countries? Something other than "South Asian"?
And eddymd, where do you come from? Because I can assure you, ignorance and stupidity (sadly) are not limited to the US.
eddy: "only in America people are dumb enough not to include Indians (more than a billion people ) in the Asian population"
Nah. In fact, I commented on - and I quote - the "common" usage of the term "Asian". Which refers only to east-Asians. Which was also specifically noted.
For your own sake, please get over it. Quickly.
Snw read and you will find out that of all the developed countries we as Americans are the most Ignorant. Yes some of us have done way better than others but the general public does not know much and you know it
Nah Nah Nah!!! LOLLLLL
Im an Asian just like Jesus Crist was.
To those who haven't figured it out CNN is the Fox news of the left. This story reveals one of their methods-partial info.
What they didn't say in the article is that hispanic immigration (legal and illegal) far outnumbers 'asian' immigration over the past ten years. Instead, they are cherry picking the number from the year 2010 – when illegal immigration was largely curtailed and our poor economy made it uneconomical for most Mexican's to seek low paying jobs here. The real story of immigration in the United States is that of the Mexican immigration -for better or worse.
No. They said in the PAST to rate was 57% but now fallen to 31%. Not cherry picking. The NEWS in this story is what is happening now. that Asia has over taken Latin America as the #1 source of immigration.
In the end it hardly matters. I do sue work with hispanic kids. By the 2nd generation they are no different from anyone else.
Good job at not understanding his comment.
He was referring to the "fact" that CNN is "misrepresenting" immigration statistics because it doesn't take into account the illegal immigration from Mexico and South America.
No, they said ten years ago the rate was 57%. In truth the rate four years ago was more like 67%. In any one year the numbers could be vastly different that the next. To be accurate they should use a ten year rolling average. Then they would find that hispanic immigration far outnumbers 'asian' immigration.
Asians make Mitt Romney look human....lol...
The Chinese totally suck socially. Many Chinese doctors are completely useless when dealing with the patients,even if one can understand what they are saying (rare). They are much better in research.
lol this guy is mad bc hes uneducated and unemployed. i don't envy his life.
The art of generalization and hate
So you take this opportunity to complain about your few encounters with Asians? let me guess, you're one of these people have have to talk about Chinese food when you meet someone who is Asian. Believe it or not, Asians come from multiple different countries with different cultures. It would like Asians comparing Germans with Irish.....
good one Korean
very true.
America doesn't need more Asians..They reproduced so much that they are limited to 1 child per family...They are worst than Rabbits....Now they want to come here to over reproduce themselves in the USA.. I say they are Racists that only date their own kind or Caucasians and they should not allow any more...
You sound like a racist yourself! Just read what you wrote first. You are a latino and a racist ???
hahahahahaha!!
Hilter would be so proud of you...
Nice racist comment coming from a latino........ Just because they don't want to date you, doesn't mean they are racist.
such comment can come from someone so ignorant of cultural differences. Same person that will ask for a greater respect yet unable to show one.
Of all the "flavors" of Asians... only China has the one child rule.
Where are all these Asians? I don't see hundreds of them in the Home Depot parking lot. Perhaps they actually have jobs..
They are working in Chinese Restaurants...come to China town in NY I'll show the black market movies..imitation Gucci, bags etc they sell...I'll show you how they work....No more Asians....
Many pregnant Chinese women come here to give birth to a "new American citizen" – well worth the price of the flight, considering how much they save on schooling when their kid comes back for the freebies.
Many pregnant Chinese women come here to give birth to a "new American citizen" – well worth the price of the flight, considering how much they save on schooling when their kid comes back for the freebies. Plus, they get to stay afterwards, and bring grandma, grandpa and the cousins.
At least they contribute to our society and make more money than any other group
I don't work in a Chinese resturant. In fact, I have multiple college degrees and work a professional job. I was raised within the American culture and live the American dream.
Your comments are only embarrassing yourself and advertising to the world how racist and ignorant you are.
Luckily, no white women will marry Chinese man – their digs are way too short and tiny.
Remember that show on TLC with all those kids?
Lol this guy is mad cuz hes uneducated and unemployed. I don't envy your life.
No white woman would marry you either because your kwok is too limply. That alone explains why you have to zuck kwoks and bend over for fun.
"their digs are way too short and tiny."
Kind of like yours, huh? No wonder white women love black men (there, I said it, so sue me!)
How do you know they are tiny???
Asians only date Asians or Caucasians..America doesn't need more Racists...
Everyone should only date and mate with Caucasians, that way we can evenually wipe you guys out.
Sounds like someone is mad because they couldn't get a date with an Asian.
If this is seriously your rationale for calling them racist, I'd say whoever turned you down did her/himself a favor.
Kimora Lee Simmons... African Americans like a little Asian too.
But lets look at the two catagories you proposed:
Whites: are a majority race, therefore you should see more white/Asian mixed marriages than other types. It's statistically sound.
Asian: have much in common with one another... obviouslly. We all have ideals, whether its in regards to family, love or religion. Marrying within your own race suggests you will have many of these ideals in common. That just sounds like good sense to me. Making a marriage work is hard enough without adding totally different values and backgrounds into the mix.
that's bad for you libs....they are smart and not lazy.....so will vote GOP....libs had better think of some type of free stuff you can entice them with.....so as to win there votes....lol
"so to win THERE votes", huh? I can see you're one of those smart third grade educated Republicans. Learn to type proper English if you're going to be on here. Otherwise go back to your moron buddies at Fox.
hahahahha
no silly, smart people don't need government to tell them what drink to drink or big government to take care of them.....smart people don't coddle blacks because of your own "white guilt" they call them out so as to really improve their lives. so keep on telling yourself "smart people vote left" as you and Obama have lost the independent vote.....see you in November!
Actually thats not true! All major studies show that smart people are inclined toward left
No more asians!!!!
Viva Las Vegas!!!!!
How can you claim to be so upstanding if you are here ILLEGALLY?! By your own admittance you are a criminal! Come here legally or get out-CRIMINAL!
Marion Barry thinks Asian's should get out of DC and take their businesses with them.
Do you know what happens to an Asian kid in a inner city black school for studying hard and doing well in school?
they get good grades better jobs and lots of money??
true
