To quote Hoosier:
My town and yours is probably run over by Chinese restaurants, Patel-owned motels, Korean groceries, and ethnic establishments - most run by first generation immigrants. These people have worked hard, supported one another with advice, loans, and patronage, and live the American dream.
Some others think the dream is a winning lottery ticket, thug culture and music, sperm-donating absent daddies, and a welfare check.
In other words, the successful groups are relying on themselves.
The unsuccessful think someone else, and more of someone else's money, and some more legislation, and slogans, are the only path to success.
(Emphasis added.)

Now if people read his post and assumed it was geared to a certain race...well that says something.

Yes, it does. It says that intelligent, college-educated people reading a thread entitled "Will Dr. King's Dream ever come true?" and started the day before Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is observed as a national holiday, and who see a post that compares "successful" Chinese, Korean and Indian immigrant "groups" to an "unsuccessful" group described (stereotypically) as having a "dream" of "thug culture and music, sperm-donating absent daddies, and a welfare check," can pretty well figure out which "group" the writer of the post thinks is "unsuccessful."
