JOHN OLIVER REBUTTAL

• John Oliver recently tried to argue against the perception of Asians as the “model minority” and used… Kamala as an example? SOURCE: YouTube
• CLAIM: Asian American success shouldn’t be attributed to culture or effort. When Oliver mockingly says, “They’re educated and successful, why aren’t you?”, he acts like this is an insane question. But, why was the US able to find these highly-skilled immigrants from Asia in the first place? EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE shows that Asian culture is DIRECTLY responsible for their success.

  • Asian Americans vs Black Americans - EDUCATION:
    • Asian students spend more than 4X as much time studying. SOURCE: BROOKINGS
    • Score an average of 8 points higher on the ACT. SOURCE: ACT
    • And have a 13% higher high school graduation rate. SOURCE: NCES
  • This education culture is WHY it was possible for America to import highly-skilled Asians as opposed to Africans in the 50s & 60s. 30% higher global school enrollment rates in East Asia vs Sub-Saharan Africa.

• Asian Americans value hard work and family 7-20% more than the general population. This leads to later success in business. SOURCE: PEW
• In 2018, Asian-owned businesses made an estimated $863.3B. This was the MOST among all racial minorities. SOURCE: Census
• CLAIM: We should not consider “ASIAN AMERICANS” successful because certain subgroups are struggling.
• Oliver DELIBERATELY FAILS to mention that these subgroups make up LESS THAN 2% of Asian Americans.
  • The vast majority of Asian Americans are: SOURCE: PEW
    • Chinese: 24%
    • Indian: 21%
    • Filipino: 19%
    • Vietnamese: 10%
    • Korean: 9%
    • Japanese: 7%
  • COMPARE TO Oliver’s Examples:
    • Mongolians: <1%
    • Burmese: 1%
    • Bhutanese: <1%
  • Nearly ALL population growth among Mongolian, Burmese, and Bhutanese Americans has occurred since 2000. SOURCES: PEW, PEW, PEW
    • Mongolian: 77%
    • Burmese: 91%
    • Bhutanese: 99%
  • So they AREN’T behind because they’re Mongolian, but because they’ve been here less time.
  • Compare poverty rates of foreign vs US-born: SOURCES: PEW, PEW, PEW
  • Mongolian:
    • Foreign-Born: 28%
    • US-Born: 13%
  • Chinese:
    • Foreign-Born: 15%
    • US-Born: 9%
  • Korean:
    • Foreign-Born: 12%
    • US-Born: 9%
• CLAIM: The earliest Asian American Immigrants, like those from China, suffered rampant discrimination.
  • The Chinese were treated brutally. But NO ONE is trying to argue that America has a spotless past.
  • NO GROUP--Chinese, Japanese, African American--has faced LEGAL DISCRIMINATION since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
• CLAIM: Living up to the Model Minority stereotype inflicts psychological damage on Asian Americans.
  • Suicide isn’t an “Asian American” issue or a byproduct of white supremacy, it’s a WORLDWIDE ASIAN ISSUE.

  • This pressure derives from a feeling of duty to family and honor that is ingrained in many Asian cultures.
  • Asian Americans are, and will continue to be oppressed.
  • “There is no working your way out of it.”
  • Institutional racism is the Boogeyman that the Democratic Party uses to keep minorities in their tent and they DO NOT CARE if Asian Americans are the collateral damage.
