Why cant other minorities take a cue from asians?

You look at the majority of asians, they are hard working people that, even though they were treated poorly by white people, you would never know it because they never complain about it. They are large contributors to society especially in the technological fields), take school very seriously and are responsible people. On the other hand, you look at the major of blacks or mexicans, they generally are very outspoken about how they were mistreated. They generally dwell in the past, focus on issues that happened decades ago, often times, use these past negative experiences as a scapegoat or a crutch, and then expect society to compensate for there misfortunes that they themselves never even truly experienced. Many don't even attempt to put forth effort in a legitimate career, and leech off society, or resort to criminal lifestyles. Few value a good education and are not a factor in the cutting edge jobs of the 21st century. My question is, why don't blacks and mexicans look at asian americans, and take a cue from them. Maybe then, people would take them more seriously.

That being said, there are several notable exceptions, this is all large generalization. However it is a generalization rooted in truths.

Update:

answer 1, while i agree with you,thats not the point of my question, the point is, asians reacted the proper way, you would think after seeing there success in society, other minorities would follow suite, but they havent, why?

Update 2:

Why resort to childish name calling? Why not responded with an intellecual statement? Coming accrose as jealous, that doesnt help your case, it makes my point all the more valid.

Update 3:

You can always make excuses, but the fact is some asians were at points in history mistreated by some white ppl just as, if not worse than black ppl (they werent even allowed to come here for seeral years due to the chinese exclusion act of 1882). ad they rose above it, and continued on with there lives. Everyone else should do the same.

    Good question. Too bad now they're going to call you a racist even though that is exactly what they see in the real world.

    See? Just look at the person above me. Since her own race is too lazy to get back up in society, she would rather bring asians down by talking about them getting eye lid surgeries.

    Dont waste your time anymore with these questions. If they EVER wanted to advance, they would have done so already. Look at white and asian countries and look at how much more advanced they are. Its probably in their culture not to care because otherwise you would see their countries doing better.

    It's more than a mere coincidence that the two races that are the most successful in the world are ALSO the ones who stepped on every other race to get there.

    You haven't made a single valid point, because you failed to grasp WHY other groups aren't doing as well. Below is the exact reason why white people have thrived and why they fail to see why other groups are doing well. You can apply the same philosophy to Asians too.

    When you're white you can't help it when you're born at the top of the racial ladder. So when you look down at the rest of the world to see "what the problem is", your view of it is often warped and distorted. When you're a minority, (who have been oppressed by the majority) you spend your entire life looking up and can see the world for what it REALLY is.

    It's funny that you and other ignorant whites ask for "reasons" as to why blacks and hispanics aren't doing well. Then when you hear the truth as to why, you call them "excuses" because it's not the answer that you want to hear. You're not really interested in learning, you're just interested in trolling and ENJOYING your own stupid prejudices.

    And I expect to get like 50 thumbs down for this, because racist white people hate seeing the truth.

    It would be great, perfect, beautiful and awesome for all western and eastern world to leave Africa alone.

    So when that happen, we will see the truth and we will learn if Africa is worth the development.

    I agree. But the way their culture is they are always pushed by their parents to do good in school. That's why you always see them on top of their class.

    Asians treated poorly by whites? Or is it some whites treated some Asians poorly?

    Did whites enslave blacks or did some whites enslave some blacks?

    See how this works?
