I did a research paper on Asian Americans not too long ago..I think it's about
time that both Koreans AND Euros recognized US as a separate group..as
minorities, we are given no respect by whites..when other minority groups
underachieve (and, it is not their fault), Anglos are upset..they view the
former as being "burdens on society"...when Koreans overachieve, Whites get
mad..we are a threat to their power..the worst part of it is that White
America has stereotyped the Korean worker/student as being "super
intellectuals", therefore we must work at that much of a higher level..but,
we are all different..it is almost impossible for a Korean to "be all that he
can be" because, as you said, there is a glass ceiling, which allows us to
see higher jobs, but prevents us from reaching them..who built the USA and
Canda? It was us, along with our other Asian brothers and sisters..Europeans
basically came, built a few cottages, and brougth over thousands ofblacks and
forced them to work to create America's breadbasket.the Chinese created the
railways, which connect the west to the east, and allowed
modernization..Koreans and Japanese too helped in the sugar plantaions..but
where are we in the textbooks? That makes me furious. Though we are as much a
part of this nation as any other race, we must work a step more, to be two
steps back of the governing white race..the "status quo" of America..
