Start your own business. That is what I did.

Frankly it is because I'm asian and I know no way in hell will the white guys ever let me be the boss.

If you look at the biggest 1000 companies, my guess is that except for the companies asians started, zero is headed by an asian.

I'm glad I work for myself. You have to learn all kinds of new stuff and that is good.

Moonbat conservatives...

I take it from your comments that a "moonbat conservative" is anyone to the right of John McCain or Lincoln Chaffee.

Are you a victim of white racism?

I get it. Because you are convinced that people are racist against you (based on no hard evidence, just your own perception), you are indifferent to overt, explicit racism against others... oddly, including such explicit racism against yourself. Don't you see that you are determining your preferred policy on feelings rather than facts - the m.o. of the Left?

Mutatis mutandis, I know a white woman who works for a Chinese-American-owned business with lots of business ties to China. She knows which way the wind blows over there, and her Chinese bosses make no bones about it. She knows she's kwai loh.

Likewise, I worked for a Jewish-owned jewelry store 32 years ago. I thought that, as a geologist who'd studied (of course) mineralogy and X-ray diffraction methods, I might have a leg up as a potential jeweler. How naive. The jewelry counter was where the real money was made, and the jewelry salesmen were the only commission-earning employees in the store. They made serious money. We made subminimum wage. And I found out pretty quick, I wasn't going to get a shot at the jewelry counter, ever -- I was a gentile. No way for me. Oh, and I didn't get the seven extra Jewish holidays a year, either, or the 10% pay differential paid to Jewish employees, and if I'd had kids, they wouldn't have had shots at summer jobs there like the Jewish employees' kids did. Too bad, so sad, poor little shagitz boy, didn't get a shot at the better job inside the company.

So I went out and got a real job, instead. Went back to that place two or three years later, and it hadn't changed a bit. Same sleepwalking employees, same old deal. But I'd moved on, and was making more than double my old pay. Glad I got laid off so they could give my job to that black guy they'd brought in at a wage 20% lower than mine.

A couple of years ago, I saw cooks at this greasy spoon where I often got breakfast giving the white waitresses a hard time. I asked a couple of them about it, and it turned out that these three cooks were just really sanding them down any way they could. The cooks were illegals from Mexico, and they were trying to get the white women to quit so their jobs would come available for hermanas.

I came back a couple of months later, and the waitresses were still there, but the cooks were gone. Ooops. Didn't work that time.

Quit your whining - you're starting to sound like Jesse Jackson. People don't "let" you be boss. You get there by being so good at what you do, that people cannot afford it if you aren't. I get really irritated when I hear fellow Asians express this sort of sentiment. It's one thing to have black kids out of the ghetto who have been raised by government schools saying this, but you - you know better.
