Asian Privilege

Can you give examples of whites being oppressed by Asians in America?

A few years ago I created a thread regarding this issue which seems to have been removed (naturally there was a lot of abusive posts from a certain username). But using research mostly from Asian and Asian American scholars the basic points were:

1) Economic discrimination against most Asian groups pretty much ended in the 1960s;

2) That most of the Asian-American population these days is "hyper selected" i.e. they are first or second generation immigrants from highly educated and/or wealthy families;

3) That there remain racist stereotypes about Asians but they are, oddly, mostly favorable as far as education and hiring are concerned ("They're smart" "They're hardworking" ) although some might limit their access to the highest level of corporations ("They're passive" "They aren't socially oriented" ).

So Asian-Americans, on average, have the advantages of pre-existing wealth and education without the damaging racist stereotypes like "They're lazy" "They're stupid" that other POC are labelled with (as the other thread shows).

do you think their IQ has anything to do with it?

You didn't answer the question.

Can you give examples of Asian oppression toward another group in America?

The idea behind "white privilege" is that whites gained their status through oppression of other races. Unless you can point to a group Asains oppression to gain their standing in America, it's not "Asian privilege".

Nope.

Nope.

So the income gap between racial groups does not indicate privilege, at least not unless one wants it to.

It doesn't indicate "superiority" which is what you asked.

Asians are a fairly small minority in the US and have little ability to invidiously discriminate to any effect even if they wanted to. Obviously that is not true of whites.

It is noticeable though that this administration has supported white nationalist policies meant to reduce Asian immigration, specifically to end "chain migration":

"For example, prior work by AAPI Data has shown that 55% of Indian immigrants who established lawful permanent residence by obtaining a “green card” had been admitted to the U.S. because they already had family in the United States. About 40% of Indians entered through an employment- or “merit”-based visa.

Among Chinese immigrants who obtained permanent residence in 2015, a clear majority did so through their ties with a family member’s sponsorship and only 30% received employment visas requiring specialized skills and high levels of education."

In other words, you have a double standard.

At least you admit white privilege does not extend to Asians. I guess whites like Asians, just not other minorities. Is that your position?

By the way, yoir vast majority of Chinese statement does say they are superior to general population whites.

If my posts are sooooooooooooooo difficult to understand, perhaps you could get someone else, like a high school student perhaps, to explain them to you.

I've dealt with both those points and reject your absurd mischaracterizations of my positions.

You said the Chinese allowed into the country are superior.

Funny how you can claim superiority for Asians and not for whites.

You have a double standard, but seeing as you are too blind to see your own bigotry, why would you admit it?

I said no such thing.

There is no "double standard" just you either deliberately and/or ignorantly mischaracterizing what my posts clearly say.
