The Chinese Exclusion Act in later 19th and early 20th century,you know those Whites don't want any Asians compete with them.So they have a 1924 Immigration Act,forbidden any Asian immigrates.And in World war II,even German and Italy is the enemy of America,but Eisenhower and Nimitz can lead the American army,while the American citizens of Japanese blood ....................,just like Dewitt said:"The Japanese race is an enemy race and while many second and third generation Japanese born on United States soil, possessed of United States citizenship , have become Americanized, the racial strains are undiluted.”

Yea, but we proved the wrong with this one...

I think in the first,Lux said
They are from Limbu, Magar, Gurung which are all Sino-Tibetans.
This is right,Sino-Tibetan is a language family,sino-Tibetan is not same as Tibetans

The early Limbu Magar Gurung probably split out from proto- Tibeto-Kanauri language umbrella many years ago. They are Sino Tibetan but they are not Tibetan.

There are REAL Tibetan in Nepal, in places such as Mustang. These people are called Bhotia or Sherpa, and not Tibetan.

I know this history,it's just amazing how the American government treat American citizens that way just because of their blood,and confirmed America is a white country

Yes they did. It was wrong, but at the same time, you have to understand their own psyche. They were just attacked by the Combined Fleet of the Empire of Japan. Japanese-Americans proved their worth, however, by enlisting and fighting against the Nazis, as well as fighting and serving as translators in the Pacific.

The US Government had also financially reimbursed Japanese-Americans for their unlawful actions:

Sure. You also have to take into consideration the racial millieu of the time. In 1941 America, there were still segregation of schools, businesses. We are referring to a time before the Civil Rights Movement and the hurdles that minorities in America had triumphed over.

You have to take these socio-cultural changes and dynamics into consideration.

But then again,do you know ceiling effect?Asians can live in USA,but not means they can assimilated into the mainstream society,while I think in the future many Hispanics can,the reason is well know,I don't explain further

I think most are Hindus. These Sino Tibetan people are in contact with Indians who has far more advance civilization than them. So they adopt many of their culture.

But fortunately like Chinese where we borrow good things about Buddhism and ditch away many of the rubbish, the Nepali Sino Tibetan somehow behave similarly.

They have the honor code and they will fight till death. They are discipline and they do not disturb civilian. (impress us from their conduct in Malayan campaign WW2 while we get piss off with other Indian units) I am not too sure whether they practice caste system seriously. Apparent not, and definitely not like Indo Aryan type of crazy caste culture.

After WW2, the Brit got so piss off with Indian soldiers that they kick them back. I am going to paste some of the material for your reference.

The majority of Asian immigrants into the United States actually perform very well in the country, many of whom make more than the average American in terms of income. In regards to education levels as well as performance, Asian Americans are the "model" group, performing exceedingly well on SATs, ACTs, MCATs, LCATs, GREs et al.

Again, while there were instances of racial discrimination in American history, much has been changed and opportunities are readily apparent since the Civil Rights Movement and the implementation of laws to guarantee fair treatment and fair access.

One has to consider the progressive development American society has experienced these past 60 some years. You should take these social factors into consideration when rendering judgment. It'll be more objective.

Maybe I will need to start another thread on this. All East Asian perform well except for Nisei Japanese.

A good sentimental Video of Gurkha Regiment.

The 1st Battalion of 11 Gorkha Rifles, was deployed during Kargil War. There job was to clear the Batalik Sector.

Batalik was even more tough terrain then Kargil sector, but they did there job against unfavorable odds. And for that young Cap. Manoj Kumar Pandey got the PVC for bravery in Batalik.

America is not a "white" country. America is a nation composed of immigrants, nationalities, cultures, races, religions. If you have not noticed, the President of the United States is not a "white man" , but an African-American. The Commander of the United States Pacific Command is not a "white-man" but a Japanese-American. The Surgeon General of the United States is not a "white man", but an Indian-American.

I have university classmates now study in America,what I mean mainstream society is not you can earn well or educated better,but many other things,my classmates dislike Affirmative Action,many of their Black and Hispanic classmats play all the day,but those people still can in good university,this is pathetic.And in their culture,they have some biase against Asian males,for example think Asians are weak and so on.They are just students,so they can't contact American society further.
Do you see anyone talk about Hagel's German roots?No,but when one Asian American successed,they will say,an Asian,great achievement,they treat you just differantly
