Race is absolutely a factor, but only insofar as white people enslaved black people, then legislated them into second class citizenship. Post-1960s, I guess we're on to blaming them (hence the stupid & lazy stereotype) because we think they should've gotten over it & recovered by now.
I wonder what terrible things Asians did to whites such that they earn higher income, commit fewer crimes, and do better in schools than whites while living in historically white countries.
This is a complete non-sequitur. It was only until very recently that whites have begun to approach anything less than a majority.
ETA: likewise, Asians have not been in charge of the US for the majority of its history. In fact, they have typically been subject to whites' dominance. The WWII Japanese internment camps are a case in point.
But I get the sense that you're not really interested in exploring the complexity of different race relations as you are discounting said complexity with a trivially false equivalence.
