"Are you a US citizen"

Thats not an illegal interview question per se. Many federal jobs, e.g. US Government agency jobs, may only be held by a US citizen. Asking about a person's qualification for the job being discussed is permissible.

No doubt that doens't apply here tho.

Yes, I know most US government job require citizenship. I doubt the poster works for the US government, but I suppose you never know.

I also suspect that with the crazy online applications you have to fill out on USAjobs, that by the time you get to the interview for your US Government job, they already know whether you are a US citizen and they don't have to ask.

An old-time mounted cop once gave me his formula on how to raise children properly: a 75% mixture of love & discipline, plus 25% luck. Some families lose a parent, through no fault of their own. That does not necessarily halt their progress.

While I agree that the children of immigrants appear to have more drive to succeed, I don't necessarily attribute it to a higher moral standard. I have found plenty of successful immigrants and their kids with no moral standards at all!
Traits such as shrewdness, tenacity, dedication, attention, & resilience, IMO generally describe more successful people. One doesn't necessarily have to be nice, or nasty. Education is important, but not mandatory. I know many uneducated successes, and some educated failures. Sometimes, what one learns in school besides the textbooks, or in life, is more valuable.

That's a very dangerous thing to do. I hope you will retract some of your statements and pinpoint to an individual rather than the whole continent.
I was afraid that if I wrote one anecdote someone would think that. I gave the wrong impression by giving that anecdote.

I live around a huge Chinese and Korean community and worked in schools with Chinese and Korean kids.

I also went to school with a young girl from Japan (in my college), from a prominent Japanese family. Wonderful friend. and was good friends, spent quite a lot of time, with a Japanese MIT Ph.D. candidate and, later, graduate, in Economics, who had come here for his Ph.D. Both sensitive, fabulous people and friends.

But I have seen too much here with too many Asians (in particular, or, especially, Koreans.) It is ridiculous to say I am pinning it on to an entire continent. Or nation. Why would I even think that? I don't.

Bayside - and other well off Queens neighborhoods - has traditionally had a good school district with or without Asians and this is rooted in its history of affluence. It was once home to wealthy farmers and traders from the LI agricultural industry. After them followed Italian and Irish families who already became affluent after starting out in other parts of the city. Asians started moving into Bayside precisely because it already had a good SD - and these were Asians who became richer after starting out in Flushing so the bad elements among them like the FK Ching and Tung On crime groups were already filtered out.

Looks like Bayside High School did very little for your education.

I lived in bayside all of the 80s....there was a small pocket of blacks residing there around Oceania St by northern blvd back then. Never has there been a large black population in bayside....not even close to 10%. The vast majority of blacks that went to district 26 are bus in from other parts of queens like Jamaica, hollis, etc.

Its pretty the most silly thing I've read this year to claim blacks build the bayside school system. I've met a few nice & smart black kids back then but they were an extreme minority.
