"For about the third time, What enables the Asian minority to overcome poverty when other minorities cannot? "

It is often the case that immigrants are able to 'raise themselves from relative poverty' by acquiring investment money from other people. The problem is for many other folks, there IS no investment money.

The above is a generalization, but an apt one. Some places in Canada have been 'economically taken over' by SE Asian people, and I don't begrude them that. But to suggest it was done by money they made in Canada starting from scratch is balderdash. People do not rise from poverty without a helping hand up.
