   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.
