> many immigrants from Asia were already well off enough to immigrate, so in some sense mid-to-upper class of their societies

For recent migrants, sure. For others, we spent over a century putting them in ghettos, rail gangs and concentration camps. Broadly speaking, I see no gain for anyone, minorities the least, in creating a caste system of victimhood in America.

Not sure what your point is, but it sounds to be in line with mine: ethnicity/race is perhaps a too rough categorization of people to be used outside of a very specific context.

Edited to please the pedantic among us.

I think the caste system of victimhood revolves around race, not ethnicity. Race, as we all know, is a social construct and thus provides the context.
