On the Fact that the Chinese Minority in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam Have NEVER Possessed Significant Political Power and Have in Fact Been Officially Discriminated Against and They've Still Perpetually Outperformed (Ofttimes to a Major Extent) the Majorities Both Economically and Educationally in Each of These Nations

This one fact alone blows to smithereens the absolutely cartoonish notion of the left that discrimination is the most important (singular in the minds of some) variable determining group differences in achievement. And there are obviously other ones; the fact that Jews achieve at a higher rate than Hispanics do IN HISPANIC COUNTRIES, the fact that the Japanese were so discriminated in this country that they were put into internment camps during WW2 and totally dispossessed and by 1959 they were making as much as white Americans were, the fact that African and West-Indian black immigrants do significantly better (in school and in the market-place) than African-Americans born here do, etc., etc........................................................................................................Not that any of this evidence will ever be persuasive to the ruling-class in that it all but neuters the necessity of their existence (the fact that they need the unfairness argument to reign supreme so that they can gallop in on their white horses and rescue the oppressed). But the rest of us can appreciate these facts and hopefully arrive at a much more nuanced and empirical conclusion and at the very least not make the situation worse (as affirmative action - in Sri Lanka, India, Nigeria, Malaysia, as well as the United States - clearly has).
