but at the same time have the widest income gap in any group i wonder how we bought into the american dream it's not how the americans who built the country know what that is and i don't know who's having that conversation and people are now being used to say why can't they just be like asian people they come here and build businesses. they just assimilate. >> host: what is hidden in that narrative about the immigrants is all of the structures that were there to support us so my family for example is a middle-class family in india and the 1965 law did prefer asian professionals so what you have immigrating is lots of professionals and nonprofessionals as well who are working as domestic workers for example in other low-wage industries in the country but such a huge portion in the demographics are very middle-class. they have access. it's in the media and in the stories that we tell about asian americans is. they challenge me to find my place and then create a space for me to claim and saying in a very straightforward way is to whom we owe that space if it wasn't for them. >> guest:. a lot o

proud, my fight for the unlikely american dream. how did you get into fencing? >> guest: in my family is important for my parents to put the kids in different sports to try them out and to see which one picture interest i started fencing at 12 years old and i got the immediate reason defense was because the efforts were totally covered and as a muslim i did not wear shorts or tank tops. it just fit into my religious beliefs. >> host: to the sport itself attractive? >> guest: i don't know if it was necessarily the sport but let my high school fencing team. you were very close and about like a family more so than it did like a team and we also won state championships every year so i'm sure being part of a winning team that historically had just been so powerful i guess landed itself more to peak my interest. >> host: what other sports did you try out? >> guest: i played four years of volleyball and also played softball but i tried everything from track and field, tennis but definitely a fencer at my core. >> host: you call your book proud but also say the word unl
