They didn't have a large majority consider them inferior for long, or being bitter that they are not longer their slaves (like they were for their grandparents and earlier) and thinking "how dare they not know their place".

Those immigrants also didn't have seggregation laws against them until the 70s...

Consider the internment of Japanese during World War 2.

"...we find large place effects on individual economic outcomes like income, education, socioeconomic status, house prices, and housing quality. People assigned to richer locations do better on all measures. Random location assignment affected intergenerational economic outcomes as well, with families assigned to more socially mobile areas... displaying lower cross-generational correlation in outcomes."[1]

That was during war, lasted only a few years, and with endless "we're sorry" afterwards.

Hardly the same as 400 years of slavery, and 150 years of Jim Crow, lynchings, redlining, racism, seggregation, and so on...

> They didn't have a large majority consider them inferior for long

Arguably untrue, ask a Trump voter of your choice about whether they think Chinese or Latino looking people are inferior to whites...

> seggregation laws against them until the 70s

All the SV hiring we are talking about is people born in the 80s and 90s. How are those worse off than the SE Asian or middle eastern first/second generation immigrant who also possibly gets racially stereotyped in some places but doesn't have preferential privileged college admissions and special scholarships?

They are not. There you have your answer.

I would posit you have created a 'hallucination trump supporter' that does not exist.
