A question was asked, mind you based on multiple false premises.
But here is part of the answer:

It is not just native-born minorities who are outperformed by the immigrants, but native-born whites, as well.
One of the false equivalences used in this argument compares the Blacks to more recent immigrants who "arrived here with nothing."
Both groups are subject to prejudice and bigotry, but some of the more recent groups "benefit" from the model minority myth.
Blacks have more to overcome than new immigrants, on average, exactly because assholes keep looking down on them for the ostensible failures of their forebears, with no ability to perceive the double jeopardy.
If a Black succeeds, their success is challenged for perhaps having come from Affirmative Action or other forms of giving Blacks a break, while if they fail it is all about their personal failings.

Here was the question that was asked:
How come so many groups come to this country with nothing and still make it, while others keep complaining of unfair access to resources but refuse to work or embrace real education?The question contained no mention of minorities, nor was the question based on false premises, as josh's data supports the notion that the hard work and self-discipline of some immigrants is what leads to their success; which was the assertion behind the question.
What was most interesting about the piece josh linked to is how many immigrants find their way without getting into debt:
You can start a business, buy a car, or attend college without the attending debt or loans. It may require saving longer, working harder, or choosing cheaper options, but avoiding debt doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have to do without these things. How many on this fora have no debt? Besides me, that is. Or, at least, how many have learned how to leverage debt? That might be a good poll question, josh.
