That's better than a dude with a felony or debt or noskillspwned and no family etc. |
|
Date: February 22nd, 2012 9:39 PM Author: Sooty Internet-worthy Den what you just described in your post is not most americans, except the noskillspwned and debt thing.
Someone with no skills was better off than my parents, for 1 you can speak english that's already a GIGANTIC leg up. The debt thing is usually too much consumer spending that was unnecessary and if that's the reason someone homeless well i don't know what to say

|
Date: February 22nd, 2012 9:45 PM Author: Sooty Internet-worthy Den probably true but comparing the average homeless person to the average asian american population doesn't explain differences in homelessness
"Fewer azns because azns that come here have to come from families that can pay $$$ to come here."
this seems to imply someone who was rich in their home country, and i'm telling u that's not true for many if not most first generation asian americans. Maybe the ones who move straight into upper-middle class neighborhoods but that's not the case usually. |
|
Date: February 22nd, 2012 9:51 PM Author: Vibrant internal respiration Ok, maybe not huge $$$, but they have some combination of skill, work lined up, and extended family willing to help. Homeless people almost without fail lack these. If they are homeless due to drugs/mental illness this also usually stems from weak family help in one way or another.
I'm not saying all azns are rich and shouldn't have implied that, but on avg I'd say that have stronger assets tangible or otherwise. |
|
Date: February 22nd, 2012 9:53 PM Author: Sooty Internet-worthy Den i can agree with this, i think strong family bonds is what makes the difference in the homelessness numbers personally (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1880859&forum_id=2Firm#20031639) |
