Asian Americans are generally stereotyped as model minorities. Census information tends to show that they excel as a group in educational attainment, careers, annual income, etc. However, this information is skewed, as Asian groups tend to do far better than others. While the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, East Indians and Pakistanis tend to be at the higher end, there are many Asian groups that don't tend to do so well and do not match with the model minority myth.
These Asians can be called in slang "ghetto Asians", and they generally include Cambodians, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Laotians and Hmong. These groups tend to be poorer, more likely to be affiliated in gangs and do not have the same attainment levels in education, career and income.
Obviously this is changing quickly with generations, seeing as many of these "ghetto Asians" came here as refugees or are the descendents of refugees.

Also, the term "ghetto Asian" can be coined for any Asians that act, dress or live a "ghetto" style.
Sure we have Latino gangs, but believe it or not we have tons of ghetto Asians that are in gangs too.

A Ghetto Asian is an Asian individual who dresses/acts the whole Hip Hop persuasion. This doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is trying to "act black", but more-so trying to live the Hip Hop culture they admire. In some cases, the Asian individual may have authentically been brought up in the ghetto, but in most cases, they're weren't. In reality you cannot act black because black is a race/colour, not a persona. Given, not all black people act ghetto.
Look how many Ghetto Asians live here in New York.

A term referring to a food court on Durant between Telegraph and Bowditch streets in Berkeley. Though the actual name is "Durant Food Court", nobody calls it that because it lacks character. It is home to many Asian or Asian run restaurants and favorite dishes include Kimchi Fried Rice with Spam, Donuts, and a plethora of other foods. Also there is always a black guy playing hella loud music outside. Not to be confused with the Gourmet Ghetto on Berkeley's Northside.
Mark: Yo lets roll to the Asian Ghetto and get some Kimchi Fried Rice with Spam.
Tomo: Sounds good I want some popcorn chicken from Quickly
