I view the Asian american community, its general desire for hard work and achievement, as being the ULTIMATE expression of the American spirit.

Americans in the last 200 years are marked by these qualities:

-- Immigrants who left their country of original for better opportunity.
-- Extremely hard workers who don't ask for hand-outs from others.
-- Folks who value education very very highly.

To me, the Asian american community typifies these qualities (its not all, I know.. but certainly the vast majority are like this).

My grandparents came from outside the US and had these same qualities. I totally welcome all from Asia who bring these same qualities to the US. These attitudes are the bulwark upon which America's greatness rests. I wish other groups in the US were more like this.[/quote]
