While there is no denying the Chinese Exclusion Act's racism, the more recent Asian American experience is hardly one of prevalent racism.

Asians are one of the most successful segments of American society.  While Asian people are a minority among the population, they are generally excluded from affirmative action programs (how racist is that!!?!).

While there are exceptions of course, recent Asain immigrants are highly successful in America, and their first generation children tend to be phenomenally successful.

Please don't start playing the victim card as Asians; it is tiresome enough when constantly played by all the other minorities, as well as this administration.[/quote]

If you actually knew a something more about Asian Americans than model-minority sterotypes, you would know that you can't generalize all Asian American groups. Asian Americans have the widest intra-racial achievement gaps of any race. Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian Americans are some of the poorest of the poor in the United States. They have some of the highest high school drop out rates in the country, and among the worst health outcomes.[/quote]
