Very true. I think another point that was missed / omitted by the author is that Asians want to assimilate, while Blacks have history of celebrating their separate identity. Asians start with a love for capitalism and hard work and all the Ayn Rand-ish stuff (referred to in a positive sense here). Minority, hence, refers to those who choose to/really are, quite different from the majority. (BTW, Kal Penn, whether he realizes it or not, is to brownies what Obama is to Black people, and has a natural career in politics; it's there for him to take.)
