EPTHowever, reading the article seems to have some interesting stats. Some are predictable (i.e. 2x more Asian women have an interracial marriage compared to Asian men), others I would have never known (Korean-Americans more vocal about their racial treatment, feels less integrated).

Indian part is probably true in relation to this discussion, assuming we're talking biology, not geography. I agree, wikipedia in fact lists Indians as belonging to all 4 racial groups, depending on where they originate from (with a lot of intermarrying between the different regions). So it's hardly cut and dry even if you take the image as gospel. But I have learned a lot about the Indo-Aryan migration (which is still a theory after all, the other one benig Aryans were indigenous to India not migrants from Central Asia) and Indo-European language divergences to know that Indians share quite a lot more with Europeans than most people would think. | ||

There would be little reason for the majority them to stay in their country in its current state. "Asians" that Americans usually know of such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese usually now only send their children here to study, but not to stay. The way I see it, most people who are immigrants coming here are no longer the poor who seek the once called "American Dream", but now a wealthy man's desire. It's a shame though, that a lot of poorer immigrants have little chance of becoming something more here now... +1 my Korean wife for immigration. She didn't want to come to the US, but my job moved from South Korea to the US. So she followed me over to the US. She prefers South Korea, but she's trying to make it work. lol she definitely did not come here for the "American Dream" both of her parents are employed and her brother is still in university. Korea is pretty high tech. They have everything that they would need in a lifetime. I'm dumbfounded whenever I go on a train and everyone has smartphones, even the "Ajumas" (older women). The "American Dream" died a long time ago... if it ever existed. Get an education, know the right people, get a good paying job, invest your money wisely, and profit in retirement. GG | ||

A nice companion piece to this is the Pew research on Hispanics that was released a month or so ago. They found out that the Hispanic immigration ratio has reserved. More are going back to their home countries than coming to the US. Their population has reached a tipping point where there are no more of the traditionally Hispanic jobs for them to fill. As an aside, geography plays a huge part in immigration. Immigrants are pretty much self-selecting. In Western Europe, Arab immigrants occupy the niches that Hispanics occupy in the US. In contrast, Arab Americans are pretty well educated. Having to cross oceans does that. | ||
