Looked through it. Response point for point.

Yes, Asia's a big place with lots of people in it. Thanks for pointing that out.
You didn't place the average American on that chart, so it's useless. Show us how they compare to the benchmark, then we'll talk.
Your table doesn't support your conclusion. What it shows is "There are 7 Hispanic illegal immigrants for every Asian illegal immigrant".
You have not included information about the racism or discrimination any other group faces, so you've failed to show Asians face less.
Fine, but how many of them are running? When they run, how often do they win?

They give in the paragraph that the median American household income is $66k, which kinda shows outright that they’re wrong in labeling it a myth, given nearly all but 3 small ethnic groups (one of which is arguably not Asian) are above the median.
