"The most stubborn misconception about this population is that its members can be uniformly measured at all. A population of 20 million strong, representing more than 50 distinct ethnic groups, Asian Americans have some of the widest variances in corporate success, education, and income."
OK, so how then do we get a coherent article about the plight of Asian American small-business owners?
Are there not a multitude of experiences?
Or is the article saying there is a common vector e.g. racial discrimination that affects all Asian-American small businesses even though they have diverse resources, experiences, distribution and successes?
Do non-Asian-American small businesses contend with similar headwinds to Asian American small businesses?
I'm not criticising TFA or disputing any data it presents - just trying to get a handle on what it is saying.
