I agree with you guys so far. Asian immigrant here, came to the US in 1974 along with my three brothers. I was 10, my big bro was 15, my younger brothers were 8 and 6. None of us spoke a lick of English. My mom moved here first to start a new life without my dad whom she divorced just as soon as the courts allowed her. She sent for us two years later after saving enough money from her job as a typist at the BofA world headquarters in SF.

Fast forward twenty five years years later, my Mom retires as a VP at Bank of America. My brothers and I have all graduated from college, a couple of us did not have a student loan to pay back because we worked all through school to pay for tuition and books. My big bro is an accountant, I am a sales exec, my younger brother is a Kaiser MD and my baby bro, well he did OK in real estate until it went bust. Anyway, we are living the American dream but it all started with a dream and a lot of hard work.

How dare you work hard and take personal responsibility for yourself and achieve success through hard work and dedication. That just screws it up for other minorities. You should have made excuses and demanded that everyone else you give you a free pass!

Seriously, good for you.
I have a strong respect for people who achieve success by earning it.
