[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The American Dream is over. America is no longer a meritocracy where through hard work you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make a future for you and your family.[/quote]
America has never been a meritocracy. If you were white, male, rich, you started off way ahead of others. [/quote]

Then how did Asian women end up ahead of white men in terms of income?  And Asian men are higher than that.

[b]The current working generation of Asians had fairly poor parents.[/b]

Is it possible that it's still a meritocracy (more or less) but you just don't have as much merit as you think?[/quote]
Pretty wrong. Many came from upper middle class or wealthy Chinese and Indian families.[/quote]

Affluent Asian immigrants is a very recent phenomenon.   The average age of the work force is about 42.  Most 42 year old Asians are immigrants And they grew up poor.

If you thought I was saying that ALL Asians grew up poor then I don't know what to say to that.  [/quote]
