believe in, and stop pretending to be someone or something else.

Some interesting points,
Asians are now the fastest growing immigration group, (legal I assume).
69% Percentage of Asian-Americans who believe that hard work leads to
success, versus 58% of the general public
Asian Americans are distinctive as a whole, especially when compared with
all U.S. adults, whom they exceed not just in the share with a college
degree (49% vs. 28%), but also in median annual household income ($66,000
versus $49,800) and median household wealth ($83,500 vs. $68,529).4
They are noteworthy in other ways, too. According to the Pew Research Center
survey of a nationally representative sample of 3,511 Asian Americans,
conducted by telephone from Jan. 3 to March 27, 2012, in English and seven
Asian languages, they are more satisfied than the general public with their
lives overall (82% vs. 75%), their personal finances (51% vs. 35%) and the
general direction of the country (43% vs. 21%).
They also stand out for their strong emphasis on family. More than half (54%
) say that having a successful marriage is one of the most important things
in life; just 34% of all American adults agree. Two-thirds of Asian-American
adults (67%) say that being a good parent is one of the most important
things in life; just 50% of all adults agree.
Their living arrangements align with these values. They are more likely than
all American adults to be married (59% vs. 51%); their newborns are less
likely than all U.S. newborns to have an unmarried mother (16% vs. 41%); and
their children are more likely than all U.S. children to be raised in a
household with two married parents (80% vs. 63%). |
