I&#x27;m South Asian. Asians certainly do deal with racism, but the stereotypes and artificial ceilings doesn&#x27;t sound right to me. Where do you feel that any non-Muslim Asian minority is dealing with those things today?<p>The fact is that being black is the US is very different from being anything else. Black people were slaves from the 1500s to the 1800s, and the US government was actively discriminating against black people (and preventing them from building family wealth) as recently as the 1960s. That simply isn&#x27;t true for Asians.<p>I recently met someone who went to Stanford and was arguing that black people are genetically less intelligent than white people, even though the entire concept of race has no objective reality. I guarantee you don&#x27;t have to deal with anything like that. I could think of a million other examples.
