2) Lack of "connections" because they're immigrants. Whites have been in the country longer and have had the $$$$$$ longer, and therefore have CONNECTIONS one way or another. Connections makes things easier.

I don't understand what possesses you to think that all Asians are immigrants from really recent times. My family hasn't even been over here for 100 years. There's certainly Asian families that have been over here longer than that.
I truthfully think that my main beef with this thread is that some of the arguments that are being brought up are ridiculous and something that every culture has experienced from time to time. At first nobody liked the Irish or Italians when they came over. Then we moved from not liking them to not liking Eastern Europeans. I don't think anybody came over here who didn't face some discrimination.
I'm not knocking white skin priviledge, I think it definitely exists. I just think that some of the posters on this thread are acting like my family just showed up over here and said "Hi, we're white" and had fabulous jobs and gobs of money thrown at us. That didn't happen.
