Might be a perfect time to quote another Redditor on this subject. Credit to /u/crazydave333:

Another Asian guy here: let me dissect the pass white supremacists seem to give us...

Don't believe it for a second. They use the successes of Asian-Americans only as a club to bash other races with, and to get them to resent us instead of them. White supremacists will often rate Asian people as smarter than Whites, but that is just because it looks completely self-serving in whatever racial "ranking" system they decide to conjure to always put themselves at the top of it.

In reality, white racists have hated us from the jump. They allowed a certain number of us to immigrate because we were cheaper labor than blacks, and when it looked like too many of us were coming over, they restricted our immigration so only a token number of us could ever take hold.

Asians were always at a numerical disadvantage, which is why we had to keep our heads down and take their shit instead of fighting back. We were the original racialized druggie stereotype. Your black kid in a hoodie slanging crack in the 19th century was a Chinaman with his opium pipe. They put Japanese in concentration camps in WWII to steal their farm land. And because we managed to survive their game, they want to grant us honorary cracker status?

I've no problem with white people, but white racists can all go to hell. Chinese, Japanese, look at these dirty knees? Everytime you racists said that to me, I wanted to take my knee to your face until it was bone-splintered pulp and I'll slit your throats the moment I catch you slipping. Keep that in mind whenever you think I'm a model minority.
