Meanwhile in America, median household income for Vietnamese Americans—who also started immigrating in the 1970s, as refugees—matched the national average sometime in the 1990s.

What are the statistics for Poles, Italians, Russian Germans? Heck, what are the statistics for Vietnamese Germans?
The US has plenty of minority and immigrant groups for which convergence is... far from happening.
Maybe find and share, if you looking to refute the point.
Why don't Americans put all German speakers into the same group as well and call them Germanics?
Household income of these four groups is also higher than median household income. [2]

US per capita income is higher than US median personal income (that’s what happens with concentrated-at-the-top instead of normal distributions.) But you probably mean “mean” rather than “median” since that’s what your source actually provides.
Household income is higher than per capita for all groups.
I picked large, visible minority immigrant groups that have been in their destination country for more than a generation.

There’s far fewer of those than Turks, and many are ethnic Germans to begin with.

There’s only two: black people and indigenous people, neither of which are immigrant groups. Economic migrants go the US, such as Germans, Italians, and Irish, all economically assimilated decades ago. Hispanics are on the same track: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353.
