rrufff, your questions are not the difficult ones. I believe you yourself can provide good answers to them.

>>Is that any different from the Asian Americans and their families who have accumulated great wealth and used that to further causes that may not necessarily have the best interests of a majority of Americans?

Why is it wrong for someone to use his wealth to influence a cause? Why is it wrong for someone to speak out about a cause in which one believes? Taking the next step and saying that an Asian who supports Asian organizations with money earned in the US is wrong is bigotry. <<

No difference. If the Asian Americans use their wealth to do something harmful to the American interests, the people who commit crime should be punished. We have seen the US government is rightly doing so(even though I can not judge each individual case to be right or wrong with my limited knowledge about them).

If a group gets huge power and has a strong tendency to abuse the power for self serving, it would be very dangerous to America and to themselves in the long run.

Regards.
