I'm pretty sure bgwah means non-[white/Asian], not [non-white]/Asian.

I thought it was pretty obvious... But I guess when you have some inferiority complex you get mad without really thinking about things too much.

Even though I understood clearly what you meant having lived in the US for a while now, I don't think it's totally obvious from a non-American standpoint. This idea that Asians are better off than other minorities is very American; it doesn't really apply in places where on the one hand there are large numbers of low-income/working-class immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, and on the other hand most blacks are Caribbean immigrants, and both groups often live in fairly similar areas that are somewhat troubled but not like the black ghettos of some US cities.
