Even an idiot like me knows this isn't even close to being true.
So why even bring it up?

They were basically wage slaves and cannon fodder used to build the railroads. They were put in camps during WWII. On a quick search I could not find where Asians compared to Blacks in being victims of hate crimes, as all the hits were just reports of how hate crimes against Asians are sky rocketing. A little common sense should make a person realize Asians are probably targeted for bullying more that other ethnicities as they are on the small side, and succeed in academics. What bully doesn't target the little smart kid?
Just look at what happens when an Asian population grows in a community.
My old High School is a great example, in 45 years the Asian invasion turned it from a school known mostly for athletics to one of high academic achievements. They dominate all academic competitions. I wonder if the guys on the math team are scoring chicks like the football players did.
The point is in spite of a rough trip Asians now outperform white people as a whole, in average earnings, academic achievements, and staying out of jail.
I never said they had it as hard as blacks, but they definitely had it harder than the white people they have blown by. I never hear them whining about being oppressed or bringing up events from the distant past where they were mistreated.
I have worked around many Asians back in the day, it is pretty obvious why they have succeeded as a whole.
