I disagree, I know many Asians that came here and worked in restaurants to survive. They definitely were not wealthy at all.

All of their children did exceptionally well in school because the parents were very involved in their schooling.

These kids were often the first in their family to ever get into college.



And congrats to them and their families. The stats still show that Asians who move to the US are overwhelmingly likely to be moving here to go to college, to go to graduate school, to continue their established skilled career, or with already significant assets. All of which make them usually in the top 10% (if not 1%) of their respective countries. Asians just cannot get visas to move here to work in restaurants. The only ones who can are ones who come here as refugees or in other such ways which make then the minority of Asian immigrants to the US
