   The real secret to Asian American succes

   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.
