Why is it asians fare far better than any other class of citizens who come to our shores? Because they dont advocate the victim mentality. they put themselves through school and assimilate to our culture. They aspire to become doctors, lawyers, and the like. They put in more than they receive.

I don't think that you are a racist, but you are going down a very dangerous line of reasoning here. This logic has been preverted in the past.

True, hispanic immigrants tend to come from poorer educational backgrounds, but the ones I have known have been hard workers who are trying to provide for their children. Many second generation hispanics have assimilated nicely. The ones that haven't are the same as other innner city ethnic groups. Again, the problem is government enabling, not ethnicity.

I agree with almost everything you say in this one BUT the ones you have known are not the ones I speak of. I agree that second generation is very nicely assimilating. But I do know some hispanics myself that WILL NOT learn the language and are ticked that things are not given to them. English in this country IS the language of success.
There have MANY poor people to work their ways through school and not use the crutch of their past to still maintain the level of pity needed to get a Gov. Check every month. I do not believe it is ethnicity and is government enabling. But I will tell you one thing crime rates in SO. California compared against immigrant migration have risen DRAMATICALLY just over the past 10 years. This is no coincidence. Couple that with the millions on the dole and you have a societal problem built around one ethnic group.
