Viet gangs are huge in Texas and Louisiana because they came after the war to work on the Gulf. The idea that they all assimlate and live up to their nerdy stereotype is humorous. Anyone remember that Cambodian gang in some California town that shot up a mall and killed themselves?
Anecdotes aren't really informative here. Of course there will be some bad apples. Stereotypes are more relevant unless you're arguing that they aren't even accurate.
Except for the fact that there actually are Viet mafioso in Texas.
Despite that, the majority of the immigrant population tend to work actual jobs and push their children to achieve in life. Typically the closest thing you'd get to an asian gangster is a semi thuggish b-boy. But by and large the majority assimilate and push their kids to succeed at life.
But lets not forget that asians roll deep.
