In your opinion of only these minority groups

Depends on the definition, although Native Americans *always* get the rawest deal, particularly when it comes to the weird legality surrounding crimes that happen on reservations. And, in general, Native Americans have had it worse for much longer than any other minority in the US... although, because part of the history is based on conquest, it's a little trickier to quantify. However, a lot of nonsense -- like forced sterilization -- was happening just decades ago.

Then Asians are legally discriminated against -- perhaps even more-so than whites -- when it comes to college admissions and other areas, since there are so many highly-qualified Asian candidates which leads to Asians lying about their heritage (which white students have also done at times). I personally find this highly offensive since, if a person's merits exceed the rest, they SHOULD be selected. If that means having an all-Asian class, so be it. That's what can happen when you stop being racist and treat everybody as an individual instead of looking at quotas.

On a more pervasive level, anti-semitism is almost as big in the US as it is in Europe. Even white liberals who spam support for BLM and Antifa will turn around and knock Jews, etc. Granted, American liberalism comes mostly from Europe so a lot of anti-semitism comes with it. That's in addition to the conservative anti-semites in addition to outright racist groups.

In terms of Asians and Jews, both groups are less likely to commit violent crimes than any other demographic. Asians make up around 5% of the US's population, but only account for 1.5% of the prison population. As such, I would argue that one of them probably suffers the greatest amount of bigotry because any hatred is based on abso-fucking-lutely nothing.
