It's a divide-and-conquer strategy used by racists to fend off the critics
Plus the Asian Americans grouping actually consists of dozen of different origins, so viewing them as just one model minority is quite deceiving when we're actually talking about a very diverse group.
And perhaps it's not an argument against racism, but I don't see why it's not an argument against your claim that racism is the root cause of inequality when you have multiple racial groups achieving financial success.
And aren't non-hispanic whites becoming a minority fairly soon anyway?
And just to clarify, I'm believe racism exists and is a problem, but I'm not sure that's the main cause of inequality.
I mean in Europe jews are the model minority, it's obviously true now, it was not the case before as we all know.
That's why they can unleash their true potential in the first place.
So is that a good argument for treating other people badly?
That should be especially clear in a country like the US where the original inhabitants have been wiped out and everyone is an immigrant.
