that's about it, but one of the things is that chinese migrants have somewhat more power than jews ever did because they didn't get the full brunt of state oppression (for example, they provided a ridiculous sum of money to the KMT and communists in the second world war) so it's more complicated than a lot of anglo/euro ethnic relationships

filipinos are funny because they're like the opposite of chinese in some respects, once they realize you're filipino they want you to help them in some way rather than offering you help.
for example if you go to a Chinese restaurant and are Chinese occasionally they'll just be like "you don't have to pay, it's cool" whereas if you go into a store and the owner's Filipino and you are too, they'll expect you to buy a lot of stuff but not give you a discount or anything.
