Asian Americans in the beginning of the 21st century were the poorest ethnic group in New York City. Many immigrants were poor and were also looking for opportunities to succeed. The Asian immigrants, despite being poor. Worked hard and made their children to work hard also. This can be shown through the fact that Asians make up 60% percent of the students in New York’s 9 top high schools, while only being 13% percent of the population in the city. The Asians have sowed the rewards of their hard work, and their poverty rate has fallen by more than 4% in nyc, from 2012 to 2016. While the poverty rates of other ethnicities have fallen by less than 1%.

I've actually never heard of that stereotype.
Liberals always say Asian Americans come here as already rich people, to explain why there so successful here.
Really? Well that's pretty stupid of them. I mean sure some come rich, I suppose. The ones I've known are small business owners though, mostly.
