[schitzowarrior40]

they don't have many distractions in college as they're unlikely to become slaying alphas in college.
they literally get sent their own way towards the library to study

Because those that live in the West (those that you see basically) are the rich ones that can afford international travel or to live abroad.

Because they focus on the ultra rich and not the average
Most billionaire are in China

Every patient who got the expensive method of LL back when I was doing it, was chinese. They all had extremely rich parents. The stereotype is legit

This.

If you are an Indian or Chinese who has made a living in the US in the last 2 decades chances are you are in the top percentile of national income. They make 2x more than the average white American.

The years where you just came here to work as a manual laborer are over. Those visas don't exist anymore.

Those aren't just any Indian or Chinese people.
Those are the elite minds of their country who become CEO's of companies like Microsoft or Google. They also create very high productivity businesses and work in high productivity fields like medicine, biotech or programming. They aren't average people.

The average person in India or China not only can never move to a western country but they are on average poor as hell.

This is household income. Asians simply have more people living in the same house/more kids. means nothing

Whites actually earn more per person

Indians in particular live in big households. So when we look at individual stats, they earn comfortably but not as much as the average white.
On the other hand, the individual asian out-earns everyone in the US.

This is mostly because the individual earnings of top Japanese-American and Korean-American citizens (surgeons, high technology and biotech engineers, business owners, bankers push up the average so much.

The black earnings are probably so low because there isn't much brain drain going on from Africa -> USA. The top minds from Africa either work in their own countries or Europe. And African-Americans who were born here very rarely go into lucrative business or professional positions, although they do exist as well.

It's because of that Crazy Rich Asians movie - Chinese should embrace the stereotype, get rich and live extravagantly if they want to get women...

True, it does not apply to every chinese person, or even the majority. But those who were rich were extremely rich, which gave me that image
