“If Asians are the victims of such bigotry why are they doing so much better than Hispanics and Blacks?”
Higher IQs and better family/work ethic.
First job of a community organizer is to disorganize the community.
Wholly crap.
My employer hires more Asians than Americans for operator positions. They can pass the drug test.
Our engineers tend to be Chinese and Korean.
Obie from Nairobi is just trying to buy votes for Hillary.
Bigotry like Asians have to score much higher on college entrance exams than everyone else.
The reason Asian kids do so well in school is because homework hurts - literally - if they get the wrong answer.
IMHO, exponentially..
The War against old stock America continues...
I read a comment like yours and I think Obama may be on to something. Don't come mess around in my neighborhood unless you really feel like testing how wrong you are.
Legal immigrants, legal immigrants.
Is he talking about the bigotry that allows Asian Americans to be denied college acceptance in California because they are Asian.
Still just a community organizer.
Here he goes again being the biggest race-baiter in our country...........
Yes, Asians, fight the stereotypes.
Use the right lane once in a while. Maybe use a turn signal.
They say the worst Chinese food is made in China, I wonder if that is true
Obastard stirring the racial pot again. Anyone shocked by this is an idiot.
Obama is a racist little **tch.
The Great Divider spouting from the poop deck again.
I would expect Trump to court Asain voters over racial quotas in colleges and do quite well with them. The Democrats give them less than nothing for thier support.
