1. No, it wasn’t.
2. The Chinese & Japanese weren’t brought here against their will, in chains, and sold at auction like animals.
3. The Chinese & Japanese came from advanced, complex cultures with high rates of literacy and a high value placed on reading, writing and study. The Africans did not.
Tell that to the Chinese who slaved (many were indentured labor) away building our railroads and to the Japanese that came here to slave away on farms. Plus such Asians had racist immigration restrictions against them for much of US history. Anti-Asian racism was very high in the past.
Many came here were from peasant backgrounds and were not very literate in Chinese or Japanese. But they made sure their children were literate in English and not freakin ebonics or gangsta rap and lingo
