I wish more white people (and frankly immigrants like my parents) knew that part of white supremacy was preventing Black folks from preserving any sort of generational wealth as possible.
Things like the GI Joe bill weren't just harmful because it denied loans to POC but that it prevented POC from being able to build wealth at the rate that their White peers were doing.
My parents have pretty much bought into the Black pathology racist myth because they think that the reason they were able to make it was because of their "hard work and focus on education."
Racism in South Asian immigrant culture is such a disheartening problem.
Tbh, I've seen South Asian immigrants also deal with racism so it's disheartening to always hear stuff like this.
Weren't many South Asians, et, to an extension, East-Asians brought to the U.S.A and historically Great Britain and its colonies, specifically for their petty bourgeois, intelligentsia, et labor aristocrat/PMC status... which itself is a result of brain drain
I mean, it explains why a lot of them are more successful
That being said, it's not a general rule
(I can find examples though)
Eg. Rishi Sunak, descended from an Indian PMC family that lived in British Africa, now is Prime Minister of Britain....
