my parents say the most low-class living people among asians in the us are arabs (yes middle eastern-asian, they're asian) and cambodians. and that the highest-class are chinese. are they right? i guess we're middle class then.

It's just the model minority stereotype. Definately not true. There have been articles leftl right and centre about this

No, it's not true. It's stupid to group people like that.

Those are some pretty general statements, but it makes sense that Chinese are the most high-class group since they tend to have high-paying jobs like being doctors/lawyers. Most Chinese people I know are just middle class though. Mine is.

Yes, Jason, your parents are completely and totally right.
 Okay, honestly, that's completely untrue and baseless. Just...relax with the race issues. Learn to know that you just can't generalize like that. |
