Yes these are hopeful signals. I would add:

• The emergence of tech as the locus of economic growth in the U.S. Asians are underrepresented in leadership in general, but if there's one industry that has more Asian leaders than others, it's tech. Tech is also based in San Francisco, the first city of Asian America.
  
  \> we've seen a massive arrival of smart and hardworking educated mainlanders arrive to western nations such as Canada
  
  Not only smart and hardworking, but more importantly, assertive and unafraid to claim their rights. Those mainlanders don't feel any need to act like guests in America, unlike the generations of Asian Americans that came before them.
  
  All this is great, but remember, it could change in a flash.

  In the first decades of the 20th century, almost half of the Chinese Americans born in the United States moved to China—a relocation they assumed would be permanent. At a time when people from around the world flocked to the United States, this little-noticed emigration belied America’s image as a magnet for immigrants and a land of upward mobility for all. Fleeing racism, Chinese Americans who sought greater opportunities saw China, a tottering empire and then a struggling republic, as their promised land.

>(which becomes clear in seeing the World GDP breakdown by nation before and after colonialism).

Thanks for writing this piece. It really helps tie everything together about how stereotypes > group behavior > Asian chanitis/lukemia.
This pattern repeats in all kinds of areas eg dating as well.

Kinda sounds like me as an Asian dude but only because I got burned by my Chinatown community, if not for my Borderline Personality Mother/Narcissistic Personality Father (like many TRP fellas complaining about haven fallen victim with the Achilles’ Heel for “Cluster-B” Personality Disorders girls...therefore becoming all-encompassing misogynistic) doing the BPD/NPD ‘V-Spot’ Winnocott True/False Self dance—sandwiching me with their enmeshed-role-reversal-parentification as an only child where I became psychotic.

If only my parents could read The Search for The True Self by James F. Masterson—a simple layman entry that triumphs any ‘5 Love Language in Loving Each Other’ type of garbage psuedo-self-help/pop-psychology/self-development books by X English con artist that are reappropriated by PUAs. Probably would help many other cucks from not having to read and follow empty platitudes and conjured artificial phoniness of PUA instruction and utilizing false cognitive-behavioral “tips and tricks” from said books too.

I’d make /r/asianparentstories proud..but I got over most of it with non-CBT insight-oriented psychoanalytic psychotherapy and intense introspection with now discontinued adjunctive psychiatric medication (Ablify, Depakote, plus Cogentin for auxiliary anti-Parkinsonism).

I have no problems with most of my ethnic identity just that sometimes insecure Asian bros try to sabotage, undermine, cockblock me and everyone patronizes thinking I’m a legit autist retard because I dropped out of school...and as I’ve lamented to my counselor the other day on the topic of romance, I probably didn’t have much emotional availability or attraction to Asian chicks because of this, if at all. But I think I’m beginning to find light at the end of the tunnel? Unfortunately there are more Whites here than Asian Mecca’s elsewhere though with a larger degree of separation..

edit: “...why couples stay in painful, conflictual, never-ending relationships (traumatic bonding). The new chapters, case illustrations, and updated treatment sequences are invaluable to both beginning and experienced clinicians. The Narcissistic / Borderline Couple is an essential text for every marital therapist, offering an improved understanding of marital pathology within the framework of our changing world.”

‘Traumatic bonding’ awefully sounds like our inter-Asian community relations interwoven with introspective identity politics to scapegoat our inner childhood torments of an overbearing mother and pain of an emotionally unavailable scolding father, while we all confide pseudo-anonymous to soul-search aka find ways to amend our collective Erik Erickson arrested identities development issues, if not for the Mahler ‘seperation-individuation’ or Bowlby insecure disorganized attachments for truly healthy intimate bond and healthy relationships.

I’m intellectual New England by greater upbringing to which I find a lot of phoniness in trying to vilify and find a savior in a celebrity-god-worship through a Hollywood hero complex that y’all West Coast types seem to do. Joseph Campbell...Jungian archetypal psychology stuff for me here

For third party accounts on the splits in Vietnamese thought during and immediately following colonization, see:

• Misalliance: Ngo Dinh Diem, the United States, and the Fate of South Vietnam (https://www.amazon.com/Misalliance-United-States-South-Vietnam/dp/0674072987/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491375687&sr=8-2&keywords=ngo+dinh+diem)
  
• Ember's of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America's Vietnam (https://www.amazon.com/Embers-War-Empire-Americas-Vietnam/dp/0375756477)
  
  For first party accounts from the South Vietnamese who actually fought the war, and their reasons for fighting, see:
  
  
• The Twenty-Five Year Century: A South Vietnamese General Remembers the Indochina War to the Fall of Saigon (https://www.amazon.com/Twenty-Five-Year-Century-Vietnamese-Remembers/dp/1574411438/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1491375844&sr=1-1&keywords=the+twenty-five+year+century)
  
• Steel and Blood: South Vietnamese Armor and the War for Southeast Asia (https://www.amazon.com/Steel-Blood-South-Vietnamese-Southeast/dp/1591149193/ref=pd_sim_14_17?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1591149193&pd_rd_r=J4VPFGVBA417KNR11DVM&pd_rd_w=C89QH&pd_rd_wg=LoxSx&psc=1&refRID=J4VPFGVBA417KNR11DVM)
  
  You will see that it's not as black and white as you make it out to be, and they weren't serving simply to be slaves to the white man. Many of the South Vietnamese army officers previously fought against France during the war for independence, but then fought against the communists, particularly because of the 'land reforms' that the communists implemented right after independence.

  Regarding the women, there aren't any hard statistics on how many date or marry white men, but a few years ago there were around 100,000 marriages to foreigners per year (http://www.thanhniennews.com/society/100000-vietnamese-women-marry-foreigners-each-year-556.html). This isn't broken down by nationality or race unfortunately.
  
  In my own personal experience, I worked in Saigon for 2.5 years and many of the local Vietnamese female lawyers in my office were daughters of Northern communist government officials and/or veterans, and a few of them dated WM expats. A good friend of mine, whose father was a North Vietnam army veteran, is currently engaged to an Italian guy. So it's not just the 'losers' of that war who will date or marry whites.
