Maybe you should be worried. At least in the area where I live, Asians
are economically and academically successful, and when it comes to
education and business they are lumped together with Whites as members
of the same privileged class.

As I've previously mentioned, San Francisco's Lowell High caters to
the brightest students. Three Chinese families sued to compel the
school district to admit students based strictly on ability, without
regard to race. They won, and overnight Hispanic enrollment declined,
and new Black enrollment dropped to almost nothing. Three years later
I read a sad lament by a left winger who complained that when she
looked out a window at Lowell she saw nothing but a vast see of White
faces. She couldn't admit, perhaps even to herself, that those faces
were mainly Asian. (-8
