  • The Asian American Pacific Islander population is extremely diverse, culturally and economically. According to a recent analysis by the Pew Research Center, Asian household incomes range from $44,400 to $120,000. Subgroups at the low end aren’t represented by the median data. Here’s a closer look at the growing income gap among Asian Americans, how it started and what’s next.

    From an Asian eyes, it takes a hard working parent(s), sacrificing his/her life to build a better future for the second generation. So usually the results show in gen2, gen3. The family value and group pride are unique in Asia not common in the western society. combining the two factors, the study should focus on working opportunities not inequality.

What is always left out is nearly everyone starts at the bottom and as time goes on you move through the different economic levels. Being married to a Filipino immigrant in an area with lots of Vietnamese, I've been to a zillion social gatherings over the years an observed this. Yesterday I went to a graduation party of a Filipino woman who arrived here 12 years ago with nothing and barely speaking English, which isn't even her second language. Since then she's worked jobs and studied, first getting her GED, then graduating from community college (which was so hard her for her she dropped out twice), then her university degree, and yesterday's graduation party was for her getting her Master's as a Nurse Practioner and a job paying $10,000/month plus benefits. Again, English is her third language, she had virtually no education, and had to work while going to school and simultaneously raise two children. If she can do it, there's almost no excuse for anyone else.

      The relationship between inequality and race are tangled with literally centuries of baggage and there remain consistent correlations in these categories. If you draw pie charts of racial background when you categorize income levels, they are starkly different make ups when compared to the national whole breakdown. That correlation begets further study to understand the why behind it and how to respond to that inequality.

      Filipinos only have a high household income because they have multiple families living under one roof. If you look at per capita income, Filipinos are just average.

      This is seen especially clearly when looking at religion.

To group a poor Christian farmer in the rust belt with a Jewish banker on Wall Street is just as wrong as grouping an Hindu doctor from India with a Muslim taxi driver from Pakistan.

Culturally, we aren't going to stop having these categories - language is functional, and there is going to be a need to refer to particular meta-ethnic and phenotypic groupings in some contexts for the foreseeable future.
      That said, I agree that 'Asian American' is a bad grouping - Asia is such a massively diverse continent, it's not much more informative than just saying 'Other' - I'd at least split it into East, South-east, South and West Asian(/Middle Eastern).

    One key thing for Asian community's success is incredible hard work. We can put in all the hard work that probably a westerner would complain to do.
    For us Indians, having great education is the seen as the only way forward so you'll see almost every Indian American very highly qualified professionals. At our homes we are out under a lot of pressure to study hard and do good in academics and that might sound very rude for others but honestly it really helps in building a great career.

    • @jmin8400
      @jmin8400 Před 3 lety +19

      Yes, very important and very good values to instill. Many Africans, especially Nigerians follow this mindset, but that is often missed for deliberate reasons by "Westerners" (hate that term). Easier to paint the idea that Asians of all persuasions are a model minority, while us Africans are ignorant villagers with our hand out or refugees with no marketable skills.
      Indians however do not place a limit on what they can do with their education, as too many Africans are content to be simply be doctors/medical running a practice, working at a pharmacy or hospital. Or obscure, high paying 9-5 STEM jobs. At the very absolute best earning $1 million a year (as a doctor), while I guess Indians eye not just medical or middle management in engineering, but creating or heading large corporations that can churn out billions. Not everyone can be a doctor, but going into business fields and excelling, makes a world of difference, Especially Silicon Valley.
      Indians do everything. (but who is not to say other non-Asian POC haven't tried too and been rejected by financial institutions?)
      That is why Indians have a high median income, unlike other educated immigrants. A higher amount of millionaires. Despite stupid docile stereotypes, they see it as "the sky is their limit" on an individual level and are very very competitive, to sometimes a hurtful level (against others). Not to mention, Indian Americans don't have a culture which is anti-intellectual, that can negatively influence 2nd or 3rd generation youth, against their parents' principles.
      Asian parents are also very unrelenting in molding high achieving children, because if they have to cut out the "fun" or the "cool stuff" to ensure their kids' futures, they'll do it with no hesitation. Rugged individualism is discouraged and their greater communal good, emphasized. Other immigrants tend to struggle, because they allow negative/unproductive US societal influences to creep in much easier and derail their kids' focus. I.E. rugged individualism, that tells someone, they don't need to be financially successful and earn big bucks like mom and dad (to send back home).
      Nigerians and other Africans might try, but it can vary if your child is exposed to certain groups of people at school who don't value education as much and slip through the cracks, while you are busy working in a hospital earning tens of thousands for not only yourself, but to help family. They are simply practical and competitive, to get ahead and not want for anything.

    For people who are willing to put in the hard yards, the US is still a land of dreams. Despite coming from many diverse countries and cultures, they do have some common ground. A lot of the disparity comes from the fact that recent arrivals will always have less of a base to start from, sometimes from scratch. But they knuckle down and build the foundations for the next generation, who will then build on that for the generation after. Instead of the "me first" attitude of western society, they usually have a "family first" approach.
    In fact, they have much more opportunities than in Asia - where corruption and personal relationships (or lack thereof) stop many people with genuine ability from getting ahead, at least in the US (and other western countries) people generally are able to be rewarded for their abilities.

It takes a huge struggle to be able to get a visa and secure a job/migrate here in the first place. Adjusting to a completely foreign land with different language and culture is also another emotional hustle. Inspite of all this, they manage to do well in their lives and contribute to the society, I don't see how it is bad for the US.

    It will always be difficult for any group of people who migrated to other country especially to people who are less educated or no work experience or who do not speak english. Just like what the Burmese American girl is saying that she need to have multiple work to gain wealth. Even to the Indians, Chinese in history they worked in low income job and work hard to gain wealth until they can open their own business. And that is why even in the middle of hate against Asians there are still many Asians who want to immigrate to US because that opportunities.

    I cannot understand why income inequality is a problem and why it needs to be solved. Because everyone needs low income jobs. There should be people working in restaurants, cleaning, and other low paying jobs for society to prosper. Income equality is a myth that never can be achieved and even if it is achieved that society is bound to fall. Because success should be rewarded and failure needs to be punished.

    Why Indians earn 50% more than US whites ? Reason is simple. Only the best of the best Indians are able to get a job VISA in USA. So only the highly paid scientists, engineers and doctors are able to get a US work VISA. America has the most big tech corporations, and India has the largest availability of quality tech resources. So both these parties love each others for their growth and survival.
    In most other Asian countries, the tech industry is almost nonexistent, so many unskilled workers are able to get VISA, thus their medium income is low.

    In the United States, the Burmese people tend to be immigrants, fresh off the plane. So, it is expected that they make low-income.
    In contrast, India is much wealthier and better populated, including skilled workers. Some of those skilled workers go to Western countries for school and jobs. Skilled workers, in general, expect higher pay than non-skilled workers.
    Ethnic Chinese in America hold a wide range of jobs. The most assimilated and established of Chinese-Americans may be college-educated, may have served in the military and may act more American than Chinese. New immigrants may be skilled if they arrive on a work visa or student visa, or unskilled if they come with their significant other who has the student/work visa. Sometimes, immigrants may be highly educated licensed physicians in their home countries, but because of the language barrier and American medical school courseload, they are forced to take menial labor jobs or are forced to put their medical skills in medical technology or scientific research.

My wife is a scientist, her brother a doctor, her sister an accountant. All 3 have advanced degrees and are millionaires. She has equally successful aunts, uncles, cousins living in the USA, Canada, and Australia- engineers, nurses, doctors, scientists, etc. These folks came to the USA in the 80s and 90s with nothing and succeeded wildly by busting their butts and not complaining. But we have Americans who were born and raised here, speak the language from birth, have every opportunity, yet complain that "America is unfair," keeps them down, and and owes them a living. SMH. I wish some native born Americans worked half as hard as these immigrants do.
