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.-A

I'm actually not talking about immigrants at all. I was referring to families who have been living in poverty in the USA for several generations. Although many immigrants come from significantly more impoverished backgrounds than the poor here in the USA, in order to become immigrants somebody had to make a decision to change their circumstances. That takes a level of hopefulness that I just don't see in families that have been in this country and poor for as long as anybody can remember.
