Asians in the US value scholarship and study very hard. They aim to excel and get good grades. I wonder how many kids of any color in American ghettos embrace these principles. I wonder what percentage of American middle class kids embrace these principles. Wealthy Americans can buy their way in to prestigious schools and hire tutors to do their kids’ school work. Excelling in school was considered cool when I was a kid. That seems to have disappeared for a lot of Americans, except Asian Americans. No one seems to want to address this. Instead of recognizing cultural values, Asians are just called smart, like it’s genetic.
