From an Asian eyes, it takes a hard working parent(s), sacrificing his/her life to build a better future for the second generation. So usually the results show in gen2, gen3. The family value and group pride are unique in Asia not common in the western society. combining the two factors, the study should focus on working opportunities not inequality.

The relationship between inequality and race are tangled with literally centuries of baggage and there remain consistent correlations in these categories. If you draw pie charts of racial background when you categorize income levels, they are starkly different make ups when compared to the national whole breakdown. That correlation begets further study to understand the why behind it and how to respond to that inequality.

Yes, very important and very good values to instill. Many Africans, especially Nigerians follow this mindset, but that is often missed for deliberate reasons by "Westerners" (hate that term). Easier to paint the idea that Asians of all persuasions are a model minority, while us Africans are ignorant villagers with our hand out or refugees with no marketable skills. Indians however do not place a limit on what they can do with their education, as too many Africans are content to be simply be doctors/medical running a practice, working at a pharmacy or hospital. Or obscure, high paying 9-5 STEM jobs. At the very absolute best earning $1 million a year (as a doctor), while I guess Indians eye not just medical or middle management in engineering, but creating or heading large corporations that can churn out billions. Not everyone can be a doctor, but going into business fields and excelling, makes a world of difference, Especially Silicon Valley. Indians do everything. (but who is not to say other non-Asian POC haven't tried too and been rejected by financial institutions?) That is why Indians have a high median income, unlike other educated immigrants. A higher amount of millionaires. Despite stupid docile stereotypes, they see it as "the sky is their limit" on an individual level and are very very competitive, to sometimes a hurtful level (against others). Not to mention, Indian Americans don't have a culture which is anti-intellectual, that can negatively influence 2nd or 3rd generation youth, against their parents' principles. Asian parents are also very unrelenting in molding high achieving children, because if they have to cut out the "fun" or the "cool stuff" to ensure their kids' futures, they'll do it with no hesitation. Rugged individualism is discouraged and their greater communal good, emphasized. Other immigrants tend to struggle, because they allow negative/unproductive US societal influences to creep in much easier and derail their kids' focus. I.E. rugged individualism, that tells someone, they don't need to be financially successful and earn big bucks like mom and dad (to send back home). Nigerians and other Africans might try, but it can vary if your child is exposed to certain groups of people at school who don't value education as much and slip through the cracks, while you are busy working in a hospital earning tens of thousands for not only yourself, but to help family. They are simply practical and competitive, to get ahead and not want for anything.

But a noticeable number of them who say this are "hardcore gamers", domestic abusers, addicts, bad communicators, who seem to preach but don't follow like a lot of "Christian".

True, but people think all Asians have good income and live good lives in general, which isn’t true.

The main reason Indians have such a high average income is due to high paying IT and Medical jobs. In an Indian household it is pushed to work hard and achieve jobs in respected careers which can be a downside as there are not many Indians in things like arts or acting. I can’t speak for other Asian groups but I believe this is a part of the reason the income inequality is skewed

Okay...but if you stop grouping by race and ethnicity there is also no meaningful way to talk about systemic racism (including refuting it, if you are sceptical). Culturally, we aren't going to stop having these categories - language is functional, and there is going to be a need to refer to particular meta-ethnic and phenotypic groupings in some contexts for the foreseeable future. That said, I agree that 'Asian American' is a bad grouping - Asia is such a massively diverse continent, it's not much more informative than just saying 'Other' - I'd at least split it into East, South-east, South and West Asian(/Middle Eastern).

For people who are willing to put in the hard yards, the US is still a land of dreams. Despite coming from many diverse countries and cultures, they do have some common ground. A lot of the disparity comes from the fact that recent arrivals will always have less of a base to start from, sometimes from scratch. But they knuckle down and build the foundations for the next generation, who will then build on that for the generation after. Instead of the "me first" attitude of western society, they usually have a "family first" approach. In fact, they have much more opportunities than in Asia - where corruption and personal relationships (or lack thereof) stop many people with genuine ability from getting ahead, at least in the US (and other western countries) people generally are able to be rewarded for their abilities.

In the United States, the Burmese people tend to be immigrants, fresh off the plane. So, it is expected that they make low-income. In contrast, India is much wealthier and better populated, including skilled workers. Some of those skilled workers go to Western countries for school and jobs. Skilled workers, in general, expect higher pay than non-skilled workers. Ethnic Chinese in America hold a wide range of jobs. The most assimilated and established of Chinese-Americans may be college-educated, may have served in the military and may act more American than Chinese. New immigrants may be skilled if they arrive on a work visa or student visa, or unskilled if they come with their significant other who has the student/work visa. Sometimes, immigrants may be highly educated licensed physicians in their home countries, but because of the language barrier and American medical school courseload, they are forced to take menial labor jobs or are forced to put their medical skills in medical technology or scientific research.

They were much much richer then indians how well did the american Iranians do? I thought they would be far more successful then indian Americans. Also Nigerian Americans who come to America are very middle-class/upper-class (Nigeria is a oil rich country) and Nigerian Americans are entitled to affmative action as they are black, so how well did they do compared to Chinese and Indian Americans?

There's equality of opportunity (rather the locals have an advantage over the migrants as should be). They don't get paid more just because they are from Asia/Indian subcontinent. It takes a huge struggle to be able to get a visa and secure a job/migrate here in the first place. Adjusting to a completely foreign land with different language and culture is also another emotional hustle. Inspite of all this, they manage to do well in their lives and contribute to the society, I don't see how it is bad for the US. If they are able to overcome all those obstacles and contribute to the society and do well for themselves, then they should be congratulated.

Did CNBC actually try to compare a family that came here in 2009 (right as US economy was tanking) to several Asian families that has established themselves since 1970/1980s? There are several groups that lag behind such as Hmong, Cambodian and Laotians but even they have been pulling ahead - the trick is learning how the system works in this country. The contractor who built the add-on to my dad's house was Laotian and now his son is a millionaire in construction thanks to his dad's hard work. My dad came here from Asia with $100 to his name and within 15 years had his house paid off. He may have had an engineering degree, but and my mom still had to take the odd end jobs and save on every food item while refusing to accept food stamps. We're still cheap to this day and we haven't eaten in a restaurant or gone to movies as a family my whole life (I think we went to a Sizzler when I was 7 but that was it). Kids who learn how to use the system and become TikTok stars or influencers can become millionaires before getting a drivers license. Asian mindset typically frowns upon such behavior (I know my parents would) but those kids who know how the system works can get ahead. Of course it helps to have luck and looks, but hard work and perseverance always drives the wealth machine.

Killer mindset! Keep going my dude/ dudette

Every Generation Sacrifices for the Next, This is the Global Story of Indians & Asians, The Next Generation will be Wealthier but Hopefully also Wiser. Like Yin said, "My Life is Not mine to Live"

Just remember you are counting as "Asia" India and China too which have around 2.7 to 2.9 billion people combined together. That's a lot of people.

1.343 billion+ and 1.43 billion+...Don't blow those numbers!

I come from Taiwan at age of 27 and study in graduate school, but I soon found out I was not research type of person. Change my major to study medical technology at bachelor level. That is the best decision I have ever made.

Just Imagine conducting a similar analysis for a combined cluster of North Americans and South Americans, living in European Union. Similarly, Asia is too huge to be considered as a Homogenous cluster.

It’s cultural, not racial. This applies to everyone.

New immigrants having fewer job options is one of those unfortunate facts of life. My parents immigrated from eastern europe and my dad was an electrician specialist for trains and when he tried to get a job with a company they said he did exceptional on the simulation tests but they couldn't hire him cause he couldn't speak English well at the time when he immigrated so it was a safety hazard and not having an electrician license probably didn't help either. I guess everyone has difficulties and life isn't fair but he still pulled himself up by the bootstraps cause he kept pushing and that's how he succeeded and our family is all better off for it cause we noticed and did the same thing

The model minority is not a myth. Asian Americans often came with nothing but the clothes they were wearing, and busted their tail to the point where their kids became doctors and lawyers. We earned our reputation as successful hard workers. Don’t try to diminish it just because it makes other people feel inadequate

I'm Filipino-American and I love Japanese, Thai, Korean, Chinese and Indian food. It's a smorgasbord of Asian food. America is really a melting pot.

Why do they feel the need to categorise everyone by race? It’s just making everything more racist. People don’t need to labelled in groups, they can be just people

@@philliphartman2381 academically they outperform Asians just not by wealth. Nigerians also outperform Europeans academically in the USA, UK, Canada and in most European countries.

Maybe income has a lot more to do with cultural up bringing and what is expected and maybe has to do with a system.

Same as Latinos.... to many countries different cultures but they still putting all is us together.

This income disparity exists in China too. But it's just called a society since everyone is Chinese. Can we start classifying Americans based on their genealogy so we can see if UK or German background Americans make more or less than other types of Americans?

The report failed to mention that African American average income is $41k but the lowest Asian sub group Brumese Asian income is $44k (despite the low level of english or skills). i think it not this or that, a combination of systemic racism as well as culture. The discourse tend to focus on one while completely ignoring the other.

African Americans or Black's are comparatively less hard working in contrast to Asians who work like Machines

There is a reason why Indians are so successful in USA

It simply means that there is a need for further division of Asians into multiple groups. Russian and German people look similar, but Chinese and Indians are very different.

Disparities within the Asian-American group seem to reflect their ethnic/national/cultural background. For example, Hmong Americans, who are among the poorest in America, are also among the poorest within Asia. Not only were they persecuted after the Vietnam War by the Lao government, but even long before that, Hmong have traditionally lived on marginal lands throughout Laos, Vietnam and China. Today, the Hmong/Miao larger group are very much behind other groups within their home countries. Burmese come from a country which has been mired in authoritarian rule with little economic development for decades, and thus it is not surprising that they come to America with a starting point that is far behind Chinese, for example. Han Chinese have been among the most successful ethnic group within China for millennia, and so again, it's not surprising that the cultural traits that made them successful within Asia also make them successful in America. Most Vietnamese that came as refugees after the Vietnam War are actually ethnic Chinese who were persecuted by the ethnic Vietnamese.

What about indians the ones who are immigrating to America, they may be privileged but not the richest.

There is nothing wrong with inequalities appearing in society - life is naturally unfair. Some people do things right and work hard (success will follow them) while others do things that are wrong (if no lessons are learned continued failure will happen). These are the consequences of individuals' actions and responsibilities. That's why we should learn the necessary 'skills of the trade' from those who succeeded in life!

Except the inequalities appearing in society are not 'natural'; they are constructed and socially maintained. In fact, one of the points of this video is that 'Asian American', which is a completely constructed/ made up term/category, is being used in a way that can mask a wide variation in experiences, often to the detriment of certain groups.

Many factors affect unfair inequalities, like opportunities (rate of increase) and background (starting point). This is the points the video is making. Yours is true if everyone starts the game the same. Some start low and are kept low

This is why when you **think** of a Chinese person, you immediately **think** of a doctor or engineer versus when you **think** of a Vietnamese person, you immediately **think** of a nail salon worker...the disparities of the model minority myth y’all...

Filipinos and Indians have a head start cause we speak English, highly skilled and can compete for professional jobs. Interestingly, the richest Americans with Spanish surnames on the average are the Filipinos. Again, also because of language.

This makes it difficult for us when we apply for colleges and graduate schools in America. "Oh you're Asian? You can't be regarded as 'under represented minority' due to your 'economic standing'." Scholarships in a nutshell. Good grades don't mean much when people who have worse grades and scores than you get into law school with full scholarship and here's us with good grades and scores with no scholarship. Only a few 'Asians' get scholarships and most of us get a small partial or none. That's why our parents are such hard workers; to overcome that bs. They threw everything they have into our future, that is why we cannot fail them.

The difference between the have and have not is the decision each makes and the consequence each has to live with, even both of them started from the same place. Life is not fair but everyone can use their brain wisely.
