Meanwhile Asian like Koreans even including Indians arrived in the US with nothing, and ended up climbing to the top of the earning ladder with very good life quality within a single fucking generation.
That surely is a cautionary tale of the black hole of effort and progress that calling racism creates.
It is literally fatal to your hopes of social improvement. You can spend the next 500 years calling racism and your people will still be where they started. Or you can spend 50 years finding practical solutions and solving the problem.
Look at the Japanese. Basically little better than feudal tribes. The British arrive with guns and steam ships and started pressuring then with trade terms.
If they called racism at that point. They would still be calling racist today living in huts.
The first thing they fucking said was "we suck, they are far more advanced than us we must learn."
100 years later Japan literally fights a war against a quarter of the world and wipes the floor with them. Gets nuked. And builds one of the world's largest economies off the back of being nuked.
I strongly fucking believe the moment you call racism. It's over for you. It's will lock you into your current state and remove progress from the set of possible outcomes.
