Middle East

Most Chinese originally came as garment workers and tend to come from the rural peasantry – but with the collapse of the garment industry following the full implementation of GATT in 2004 and then the federalization of U.S. Labor Law when the Democrats came to power in 2006 – most are now working in the lower end of the service industry and a fair number in the sex industry. So it is local Chamarros and Carolinians who are U.S. Citizens at the top. Followed by other U.S. citizens – mostly Caucasians from the U.S. mainland followed by Japanese and Koreans and some Chinese who are usually business owners – followed by Filipinos who tend to be a combination of business owners and technical/professionals – and then the Chinese. But I have found that throughout most other Asian countries and even the Middle East where there are few Chinese - Chinese tend to be business owners and professionals and tend to rank in a much better postion.
