"Why are Asians so well represented when, a hundred and fifty years ago, they were being used for slave labor (in everything but name) to build much of the railroad structure in this country, and, as recently as WWII, were being put in concentration camps (sorry, internment camps!) here?"
You are comparing African Americans to Asian *Americans*
There is this other place that isn't America where you find a lot of Asians. It's called Asia. That's where most of the Asian musicians are coming from.
And yes, there is Africa too. But I think you know the differences between Asia and Africa and why Africa is not a big source for new classical musicians.
