Yeah, that's the part I was iffy about and why I added "pretty sure." Glad to see someone actually researched it and provided facts. I wish I could retract that statement about Asians and Hawaii because that is not the issue I wanted to focus on when I wrote that post and now it makes it seem like I'm trying to be "but won't someone think of the Asians in Hawaii?" when I know for a fact that we, the Japanese in particular, have a lot of class privilege here.

My main concern with that list and those numbers is the fact that the person who posted it did not mention it was a list of average U.S. household income. This is very misleading and would be more informative in showing a possible corelation between race and class if they provided an average number of working people per household with the statistics. (Though I guess lists like these are so general that I'm not sure any ammendents to it would help.)

And I just spent forever trying to find statistics for the average number of working people per U.S. household sorted by racial demographic but found nothing and give up because I have to leave soon. But if there is such a list, I bet Pacific Islanders would have more working people per household than Asians and Asians would have slightly more than Whites. Asians having a significantly higher income per person than Pacific Islanders. And taking Asians out of the picture entirely because I acknowledge that we have a lot of class privilege, even the vaguest insinuation that Pacific Islanders might have any sort of privilege over White people is...ignorant, to say the least or for lack of a better word.

This issue deserves more dedicated research and exposition than I'm willing to give it right now and I apologize for any more wrong assumptions I just made, but I think talking about personal experience like this and trying to understand where each person is coming from is a bigger step towards a solution to social and racial inequality than misrepresenting random statistics from Wikipedia and using that to draw conclusions about the status quo.

Oh, absolutely.

And, I think, even if someone were to argue that Asians aren't economically disadvantaged in general, it would be absurdly fallacious to claim that's necessarily a result of some kind of privilege. And it would be absurd to look at that and then say that Asian people don't face any kind of prejudice or that white people don't have privilege that Asians lack. Intersectionality goes both ways, right?

Like you say. Yeah. Asians who are not Pacific Islanders are not really economically disadvantaged, but that's only really a statement on class, not on racial prejudice and privilege. And the kinds of privilege and prejudice that has to do with Asians is probably different than with African-Americans, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
