Earlier this week, Pew Research released a study on “The Rise of Asian Americans” and noted that Asians are the largest immigrant group in the nation, surpassing Hispanics. So it didn’t take long for Stephen Colbert to mock the report and the “threat” of Asian immigration. My favorite line of this segment was: “Nation, we’re getting boxed in. Mexicans do the jobs we don’t want to do and Asians do the jobs we’re not able to do.”
