KamenRiderBlade 02/02/18 4:58:15 AM #87:	YOUHAVENOHOPE posted... Model minority myth is proof enough that certain peoples wanted us to succeed more than other minorities. That's your basis of proof? Because a few chuckle heads decided to make a term popular, ergo you associate a large group of people as using that term or seeing others in that light? 2% of the population is pretty small https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045217 We Asians as a whole are 5.7% of the US population, 3rd largest Non-White demographic and the fastest growing. By 2050, we're projected to be the largest Non-White demographic within the US. East Asian cultures, especially those with strong Confucian philosophy entrenched in their society, have very strong intergenerational ties. You think Americans would find it normal if two generations worth of families were living under the same roof? That doesn't happen as often here, as a cultural phenomenon, and also because there was a concerted effort to prevent that from happening. And many of us from East Asia live in InterGenerational homes because "WE WERE POOR" for many years. Most of us were VERY poor back then and couldn't afford another house. That's why we mostly lived in InterGenerational homes. To save & scrounge up money, and to help with finances by helping each other out. Once their fortunes got better, everybody started buying houses and moving away and splitting off their family units into individual homes. It had less to do with "Strong Confucian Philosophy" and more with practical financial reality. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:895298464] in Why is Jap...
