1) Their CULTURE (which is different from American culture) emphasizes things that tend to increase the chances of success;
2) A lot of them come here as educated adults (H1-B visas) and (proportionally) have twice the population with a bachelor's degree or higher.
In other words, we aren't seeing the full population range of Asians as vice other races and they tend to be starting out in a better position (these days) than the average American, let alone the average American black.
Contrast this with growing up as black in America or Hispanic (especially if you show up in the US as an educated adult with a good job (H1-B visa) and then have the resources to raise children in the traditional Asian home environment.
What shaped the culture of American blacks? And where are they starting out, in comparison? What are the differences in perception (by the majority culture) of each group? It isn't as simple as you want to paint it.
As you point out, class (socio-economic status) is also a major factor--but there is just as much implicit bias by working class/low income against the upper class as there is in the opposite direction--the current faux populism of the GoP (and the accompanying performance art) is evidence of that.
I still find it hilarious that so many people think that Trump or his movement are actually populist rather than just grifters.
If you claim that the US is fundamentally racist... white bias against other races... then it would apply to all non-white races.
You cannot make this claim when it is clear that:
1. There are many people of all races that are successful and integrated into upper-class levels of American society.
2. The wealthiest and highest paid entertainers are black.
3. We had a two-term black POTUS.
4. The GOP ticket includes black candidates.
5. Mixed race marriages are plentiful and common.
6. Rosa Parks can sit anywhere she wants.
The list goes on.
The bias today is class. There is a bias against the underclass from the upper class. There is a bias against the upper class from the underclass. Blacks and other minority groups are over-represented in the underclass and under-represented in the upper class for reasons that are no longer racial bias.
The problem with you on the left continuing to push this fake scholarship of victimology is that it is not factually accurate and hence deflects from us having a real dialog about the real problems so we can some up with real solutions.
Effing more awareness about a fake boogieman of racism is not going to help anyone. Well it might help professional race-baiters make more clicks and money, and Democrats retain political power lacking anything else compelling to the American voter.
I work in trying to get more economic opportunity in the black community. Your lies about the black man being held back by white oppression is destructive to the black community. Stop it please.
Here is why Asians tend to succeed:

"The bias today is class."
I personally have known many upper middle class black people who disagree with that statement.
