US Immigration policy prefers high socioeconomic migrants (after the 1965 immigration reform bill). Since most Asians have immigrated to the US since 1965, of course Asians as a group will have higher economic status than the average American. The question is whether you have better outcomes controlling for parental socioeconomic status.

Census Date: Total US Asian population

1970: 1.5M

1980: 3.5M

1990: 7.2M

2000: 10.6M

2010: 15.2M

2020 (proj): 19.7M

I remember there was an Soc119 class discussed that after controlling for education, asians actually make less than both whites and blacks.

If you pick the cream of the crop from Asia, they are going to do well even if you kick them down a peg.
