Cultures with a good work ethic do better than those without.No "privilege".If white privilege exists in America how does a small Asian minority earn more, have lower unemployment rates, higher college attendance rates?

Society did not benefit them, they benefitted society.

I don´t get what you are talking about. Do you mean that culture is genetically based, and not a product of the society they live in? You mean that people of Asian descent are born with good work ethics? :)

The explanation about how people from, mainly, Japan or China succeed (using the term Asian includes an entire continent, which also includes India, Pakistan and more, but I guess you mean Japan and China?) within a predominately white society could be a number of explanation, but we can always +trace them back to how people from China and Japan traditionally has been treated by the White majority in history, compared to people of african descent. It also has to do with the culture in their home countries, and what traditions people bring with them when arriving to a country.

It´s of course a complex explanation, but do you mean that the explanation is something else than society norms and history?

There is a strong family structure in Asian societies.As mentioned before, Asian Americans have the lowest divorce rates of all races in the US.In Detroit for example over 80% of black kids are brought up in single parent homes.A sign of moral decay.

 

Not sure what you mean by how Asians have been treated by white majorities.It is well known that America rounded up and detained people of Japanese descent in camps during WW2.Every race has faced hardship.If you adopt a defeatist attitude/victim complex you will always be a loser.
