I'm really trying hard not to think that there is a genetic basis for it.
Both groups come here speaking little or no English, with little or no money. Fast forward, and the Asian family have children that graduated top public and private colleges, well on their way to being leaders in the top corridors of power in corporations, non-profits, and government. The Hispanic family meanwhile is still struggling to rise out of the lower-middle-class, watching "Sabado Gigante" on saturday nights, and working as hard laborers, mechanics, and gardeners.
Again, I really hate to think that it's genetic. I'd love to think that its a cultural problem. If so, how can we change it? Why is the janitor in my office here vacuuming as I speak Hispanic, and the investment banker trainee that walked the other way just now oriental? Why have I never seen an oriental janitor, for that matter?
My feeling is only the smartest asians left. The masses remain.
Masses of anything are backward........
