“How is it that Asians, who don’t even speak English, can come to this country and start successful businesses?”
Because those who come to the U.S. LEGALLY, bring money with them.
They tend to be from the wealthy end of the scale back home.
When they come as legal immigrants they have a sponsor, they know that running afoul of the law can get them sent back in shame.
Even when they are illegals they also have a strong family co-op system, everyone works, but only gets to keep a pittance of wages for themselves.
Most funds are turned over to the eldest male, he will choose a business to start or buy using the pooled funds.
Some families may have a vote, most, not likely.
“Black” families, or any other, COULD do the same, but will not.
Americans in general are too selfish and independent to sacrifice like that for a few years. (See “Saving for the future”, under obsolete terminology!)
Among the “Black” families, even if an actual functioning family could be found, no one is going to trust their money to any long range group plan they are not the one in charge of.
Not to be too facetious, but I could do pretty well for myself with forty acres and a mule.
“Blacks” got that, but few prospered.
The younger generation wants their shot at easy money, one way or another.
Not always true that legal immigrants arrive with money.
See article in post #41.
To be fair, not all got that. Most did not even.
