In this post, I’ll be focusing on this quote that stood out to me the most: “Thus, Asian American cultural values are seen as more conducive to success than Black cultural values.” This article is mainly based on racism, who has more privilege than the other races. On the chart, it shows that while Asians are seen as the most foreign, blacks on the other hand, are seen more as an insider. But, as stated in the quote, because Chinese/Asian culture have a lot more to offer to the American community, Asians are seen as superior than the blacks, despite being a lot more foreign. The reason this quote stood out to me, because, on a personal and broader point of view, this statement and the graph are the core foundations to the problems existent today. Although each culture has something different to offer, they are seen separated, making one culture irrelevant, which sparks the keg to modern problems.

I agree with you that when a group of people are more “useful” to the white community, they move up the hierarchy. It is sad how each group is of different value based on a single population, the whites.
I like your analysis of the quote that you used from the excerpt. It is a shame that one race is looked in favor in comparison to another one, but I’m glad this mentality is going away more and more each day in todays times.
