> Majority of Asians chose to pursue personal development over fighting for social justice.
That might be technically true, but I'm pretty sure a majority of all ethnic groups spend most of their time engaged in things other than civil rights activism.
Nor would I suggest that Asian civil rights activism is somehow less active than that of other ethnic groups. There's a pretty rich history of Asian-American civil rights activism dating back to the 1860s (e.g. Yick Wo v. Hopkins was a landmark civil rights case decided in the 1886) and dealing with issues ranging from internment in the 1940s (look up Fred Korematsu), hate crimes (look up Vincent Chin), and general xenophobia (the whole debacle around Wen Ho Lee). If Asian Americans seem less prevalent than, e.g., African Americans, I'd suggest it has more to do with making up a smaller portion of the population than any cultural distinction.
