The majority of asians in the country are not fresh-off-the-boat immigrants. There are 3rd, 4th, 5th generations...

Also, working bottom of the rung jobs that no White will do is not an integration into all of society, it is scraping off the bottom.

There are jobs which need to be done. Farm labor is apparently scraping off the rung to you? Well, it is necessary to society....

You are making my point here, at least until the last sentence. It takes education and adaptation to rise above the trap many minorities find themselves in. However, what do you do when there are no educational or adaptational options available? I would say that there are more limitations than what most people (on the top) think.

You know, I come from rural eastern kentucky. We have one high school, which everyone goes to. There is no minority high school, and there is no private schools for 30 miles.
Let me repeat. We have one high school, and everyone goes to it.
Now, you take Louisville, our largest city , which has a population of 38% African Americans. In this school, there are many private schools, which african americans can go to for free or low cost, and magnet schools, in which any smart student can attend for free.
The university of Louisville will let any Jefferson County ( Louisville ) African American go to college for free provided they had a 21 on the ACT and a high school GPA of 3.1 or better. Any high school is included.
These are not insurmountable numbers. This is achievable by anyone who even remotely takes high school seriously, no matter what high school you go to . Unless you insist on writing tests in ebonics on paper used to cut cocaine.
Please, tell me how these poor, underprivledged ghetto students have impossible educational odds put in front of them. Tell me how no matter what, their magnet school/private school educations are worse than my public school education. Tell me that they cannot afford college.
Affirmative action has given them oppurtunities, whether you acknowledge it or not. It is their own fault for not taking them.
