|    The real secret to Asian American succes    |

      From: m@m.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)    |
