I'm curious. How do you explain the fact that Asians as a group are so successful? I mean, they came to the US just like so many other immigrants, poor with no language skills. Yet they've got to be the most prosperous and successful group in this country. They don't seem to need any "special" programs either. In fact, they're so successful that while they are definately a minority, I think that as far as special programs are concerned, they get as much benefits from them as whites do - less than zero. Yet, many of these people have been poor for generations in their old country, and often enough the first generation stays poor in this country also. I, of course know why this is the case. Your explanation?
