Like comparing apples to oranges or avocado to lychee. Most Asians who come to this country and are successful were at least Middle Class and higher, as it is EXPENSIVE to immigrate here from China and India. There are a few who come as slave labor (and work piecemeal jobs in garment factories here in NYC) and are VERY poor, even here in the US. The reason Asiatics are the "model minority" that white people often point to is that most Asians (especially Koreans and Indians) come hear with at least a middle class background.
