yo real talk all that pay disparity between groups don't mean ****. its like a difference of a couple thousand bucks, and only serves to ignore the discussion of what its really about which is, power.  This video and you are propaganda for nonsense and misinformation.

You clearly are not interested in the real discussion.

Black Lives Matter insists that blacks are the real victims here, and in a strange twisted sorta way they are. Since black on black crime accounts for 93% of all the black violent crimes that occur in America.

“The theory of ‘Asian’ success lumps together some twenty-five nationalities that are very disparate in history and culture. It is only in the United States that they are assumed to share a common ‘Asian’ heritage. Little or no evidence is put forward to substantiate claims that they share common values with respect to family and work, that these values are significantly different from those found among non-Asian groups, or that these values are a key factor in explaining which Asians get ahead or why more Asians do so than others. Here is a classic case of circular reasoning. Values are not measure independently, but inferred from success, and then posited as the cause of success.”

The overall poverty rate in the U.S. is 14.3 percent; relative to their unique populations, the poverty rate for whites is 11.6 percent and Asian Americans is 11.7 percent. Yet no one is talking about the fact that Asian Americans have a higher poverty rate than whites. Why not? Probably because it doesn’t fit their portrayal of Asians as the model minority. Average per capita income for whites is $31k, while for Asian Americans it’s $24k. Asians make up 12 percent of the undocumented population (that’s 1.3 million undocumented Asians), while whites make up a reported zero percent. But nobody wants to talk about the poverty, unemployment and immigration problems when it comes to the Asian American community, because to do so would accurately align us in the fight for racial justice and hurt the white supremacist agenda (which historically, thrives with divide and conquer tactics).

Oh look, it's the model minority myth peddled by someone whose primary source of information on the subject is social media shares.  

  

The model minority myth is a hackneyed, racist ploy to scapegoat immigrants while, at the same time, positing the relative and limited success of certain recent immigrant populations as "proof" that pervasive and institutional racism doesn't exist. 

The primary fallacy resident within the ‘model minority’ myth lies in its use of circular reasoning. As sociologist Stephen Steinberg notes within the epilogue of The Ethnic Myth,

Sahra Vang Nguyen wrote an excellent piece on this topic as well, back in October:

Not so fun fact:
 

That poor Whites may not "feel" privileged underscores the intersectional nature of inequality in American society.  There is, of course, such a thing as a class advantage.  However, even the poorest White citizen possesses unearned advantages unavailable to even the most affluent people of color - and, if you're trying to make the case that White Supremacism is a thing of the past, to say that you picked an historically poor time to make that argument is, quite possibly, the understatement of the 21st century. 

Get this "diet racism" out of here.

I am not being contrary or arguing with the boss here. No rudeness intended.
However. The first example you posted was convincing us not to group all asians together and then the next example you provided, lumped them all together to get a percentile. 

The vid maker went deeper in the numbers by country and by his numbers Indian americans are the model minority.

Again, the "model minority myth" is produced by cherry picking select immigrant groups, inferring values from results, and ignoring the effects of social capital and the brain drain. 

There is TREMENDOUS diversity within India - as one would expect given that over 1.2 BILLION people live there.  Do you know how many different languages are spoken in India?  Do you know what the poverty rates are like in India's various regions? 

To make blanket judgments about "Indian culture" based on the economic holdings of a select group of immigrants arriving in the United States in the last few decades is absolutely preposterous - not to mention offensive.

Would you use the "reverse brain drain" of IT professionals heading to India from the United States to make the opposite case, that people in India are "culturally inferior" to Americans, because American immigrants make more money on average? 

It's terrible logic, no matter how you slice it.
