I stumbled upon this great website called [1] Asian Nation that recently had an article, titled [2] Asian Small Business, showing the correlation between being Asian and being an entrepreneur.

Some of the explanations for the correlation are:

1) Labor Market Discrimination - lack of English skills and education

2) Cultural Traits and Ethnic Resources - applying cultural traditions of working hard, delaying material gratification, and sacrificing for the next generation

3) Class Resources - having a lot of financial resources to start a business

4) Structural Opportunity - racism among businesses

I’ve always admired entrepreneurs, especially if they are immigrants.   Now I just need some of my Asian blood to start flowing with ideas.
