I fully believe the assimilation success of East / SE Asians in America can be attributed to: .1) The adoption of western names .2) High intermarriage rates (particularly women) .3) High average conscientiousness .4) Lack of firmly held incompatible religious beliefs.
Uber driver explained his name to me. His parents wanted to assimilate, so him and his siblings all have Indian names that sound like American ones. His name is pronounced like "Davey". Clever idea!.

@lporiginalg Turmeric (really the curcumin in turmeric) is not water soluble. To make matters worse, it’s a natural pH indicator that gets brighter and smellier when exposed to alkaline chemicals, namely soap. You basically have to clean it off with rubbing alcohol.

@Extralongdokkan Gotten so angry that he storms off to train for the “next” Cell Games. Which is interrupted by Buu, who he then fights, thus joining the Z-force. Of course he had too many polka-dots to draw so he’d need a More Perfect Form.

@InsaneCope Women do make up a large share of gamers and game spending. However, they tend to play very different games than men do. The mistake these studios are making is trying to take game genres popular with men and “modernize” them for a “diverse audience.” It’s not working.

@DearS_o_n It’s often the opposite. Women will often breakup with a man with no replacement in mind. For every 24 year old partner hopping, there’s five 50+ year old divorcees. Men will typically not leave a relationship unless they have a replacement in mind.
