Do you think one has a fair chance to be successful as Asian male immigrant in US?

By success I mean making non-trivial amount of money, enough to allow you to buy house at palo alto with cash and not worry about it :-)

By success I also mean being well connected to other high value individuals who can help and respect each other.

Also it means stepping up in the socio-economic letter so that one does not have to assume to receive the short end of the stick in all aspects of social sitation.

That being said, as an Asian male immigrant so far in US for near 10 years, my perspective on the American dream has been inly dwindling.

Largely because, once I leave the relatively safe bubble of corporate G (after all we all passed behavioral round), people (American, White, or both) refuse to see positive potential in me, even with the track record of professional career and PhD educational background.

One worth mentioning anecdotal memory was when a janitor in my graduate school scolded me for sitting on the desk. This type of social bashing would never been experienced before I came to US. I do not forget being threatened in elevator and hallway of ivory tower. F the civility.

I forgot how many times I went to cafeteria and the server skipped taking order from me. The fellow American guys joyfully call this white dominant college town "perfect" place in the earth. When they blame locals in Asian cities rude, I can not avoid thinking about race and at the same time I was convinced that they do not have fair respect for me as a person. I was the polite guy but people did not act the same way back to me.

The reason I particularly mention male is generally the US social institution put asian female on top of asian male, this is implictly followed rule, thus myself being asian male in US does not work in my particulat favor.

Given that the Asian male immigrants are automotically tossed to the low echelon the society, I generally lost hope that my expectation of success is not obtainable in US, not even in silicon valley.

It was sad to see how other international students of white ethnicity were well approached by US people, while I was standing nearby completely ignored. When US people approaches me there is always some interest in their favor in volved. Oh well I suddenly feel popular as my linkedin mail box is bombarded by the recruiter who mostly have liberal arts degrees. They want me to ditch my hard earned position here to join their next gen start up. See who is the founder? Allas its these American youngsters with zero industry experience.
