Not just the US either. They’re up here running black beauty shops and Black grocers. Walk into a West Indian shop and bruh sounds like he straight from Beijing. Place hasn’t been upgraded since the 80s.

NAACP alliance building
Bandung Conference '55
Discourse on Colonialism
Associating black plight with that of the third world.
Feminism
Vietnam War
NOI flirting with Japanese sentiments during WWII.
Rainbow Coalition
Integration
Then you get to the kung-fu flicks and general cultural visibility and assimilation from 1965 to 1999.
Affirmative action
Generations of manufacturing socioeconomic plight through systematic racism that crippled the assessed value of real estate in black neighborhoods making it affordable for Asians to come in and set up shop through domestic or foreign business loans.
Not enough emphasis on education, community building, and job consistency consistent with their group to keep up with and outmaneuver them.
Group solidarity, they come in with an agenda and stay together as a group and work as a unit even when they're with you.

They setup businesses and get US citizenship by creating 10 new jobs (which are filled by family members/other immigrants on work visas)

They work hard and pool their money together to help others setup their businesses.

This applies to alot of immigrants but specifically to answer OP’s question, chinese immigrants are able to import hair/beauty/nail goods straight from suppliers in China.

They were able to get loans that weren't available to black folks and the property cost is dirt cheap in black communities.

An Indian guy I know was saying that’s how all the Indians he knows get their family over here.

Setup a job say you cant find anyone to fill the role so you have to look overseas rinse and repeat.

One thing I learned is that Asian business owners tend to pool together buy in bulk. So if you see 3 beauty salons run by a particular Asian group, chances are they got their supplies together. This gives them a way bigger discount in the long run. Probably the same land lord as well.

they had the advantage of cheap labor.
And did not care if they set up shop in a dangerous area.
