|    The real secret to Asian American succes    |

      From: aminer68@gmail.com              Hello..                     In the 1850s, newspapers in California complained that Chinese immigrants were       the dregs of the laboring class, having “most of the vices and few of the       virtues of the African.” Yet by the 1960s, attitudes had completely flipped.       Journalists praised        Asians for being hard workers who cherished education, kept their heads down       and rarely complained.               And the remarkable upward mobility of California-born Asians wasn’t about       superior schooling (not yet, anyway). It was the result of Asians finally       receiving better opportunities — finally earning equal pay for equal skills       and equal work.              Asian Americans have made tremendous progress in the United States. But the       greatest thing that ever happened to them wasn't that they studied hard, or       that they benefited from tiger moms or Confucian values. It's that other       Americans started treating        them with a little more respect.              Read more here:              The real secret to Asian American success was not education              https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/11/19/the-real-       ecret-to-asian-american-success-was-not-education/                     Thank you,       Amine Moulay Ramdane.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
