My political science degree has served me pretty well.
1946: Luce-Cellar
1947: War Brides Act (modified to stop excluding Asians)
1952: McCarran-Walter
1965: EEOC (executive order 11246); sorry, not legislative branch!
1965: Voting Rights Act (Section 2)
1965: Immigration Act of 1965
1975: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
Ending the ban on interracial marriage (Loving v Virginia wasn't legislative either) was p helpful too. Lots of good ways government has helped Asian Americans.
Helps that America selectively recruited Asians after excluding them for centuries. And since the mode minority myth relies so heavily on the concept of actual racial superiority, it's worthwhile to note that the comparison you're trying to draw selectively ignores how African Americans were brought to America and how they've been treated and legislated against since.
The "disagreement" is much deeper than that. Help me understand who exactly the omnipresent, incessant privilege/oppression narrative empowers or encourages? What's the utility of the persistent condemnation of our system (which is serving Asian-Americans better than anyone)?
I think the "omnipresent, incessant privilege/oppression narrative" is a descriptor just like "two-parent household." You can enact policies to encourage or discourage these descriptive factors and, similarly, these narratives can help form policies but in and of themselves I don't believe any of these are policies.
Those who talk about the "omnipresent, incessant privilege/oppression narrative" are likely doing it to show acknowledgement that this is a factor (big or small) at play, just like you and the "two-parent household" are likely doing it to acknowledge that this is a factor.
Most people on here who talk about privilege being an issue typically point to discrete changes that can be made or policies reinforcing the oppression narrative. Most of the time when you talk about two-parent households it's in the context of other people discussing policy issues at a macro-level while you are going on about it being basic personal responsibility.
TLDR: Your post here continues to miss the mark as far as policy goes.
I didn't play the white privilege card in any of my posts, and jhmd responded to basically none of them.
don't be scared. go ahead and embarrass me by trouncing me with your brilliant and insightful knowledge. really, just waste me I get off on it.
Remember when jhmd got wrecked the last ten times we talked about "the welfare state" but he keeps coming back to it

I can't argue with your points. It's obvious that ignoring parental responsibilities is the key to upward mobility. Asians are just an anomaly hurdling the space, inexplicable to man and beast alike. We'll just never know how they've managed to succeed without a massive, race-based intervention on their behalf.
Maybe jhmd thinks that AA are more genetically disposed to divorce and poverty?
Hey, it's whatever facet of life that you want to blame inorder to avoid addressing the hundreds of years of slavery, disenfranchisement, and economic sabotage. Dealers choice. Maybe its that damn hippity hop music.I thought we were going with cultural differences as opposed to genetic differences. Was that just for Asians?
