Source refs: `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0006`, `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0007`, `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0008` - diagnosis: East Asian men may have high income and academic performance but still hold lower American social status than their income would suggest. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0009` - evidence: Jiang uses OkCupid-style dating statistics to argue that East Asian men are among the groups most discriminated against in the American dating market, alongside Black women.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-35hrplvyf0g@transcript:v1#seg-0012` - evidence: He uses his own move from North America to China as an example of seeking status, saying he could make money in America but could not achieve high status there as an East Asian man.
