ELI5: Why have Asian-Americans flourished, while African-Americans remain under-educated & impoverished? Both were slaves here at one point, and both were heavily discriminated against throughout US history.

i'd like to point out, not all asian americans flourished.   the ones you are seeing in the top of the sciences and engineering sectors are the ones that immigrated out of China on highly competed positions to be foreign exchange students and workers.   the ones you are seeing as flourishing are the new generation of asian immigrants.   the "old" generation living in chinatowns and opening up restaurants and gift shops are IMO stagnant.

it's also the same reason why "all indian doctors are Patel's"   because those people are the creme de la creme that have made it out of their originating country.
