i think everyone is painting a very nice picture of these asian students when in fact it is a lot different. knowing quite a few i can say that what is perceived by some outsiders as an "appreciation of education" is sometimes just a "fear of shame". there is a strong push to succeed. some times it is unhealthy. it happens a lot. the pressure is strong.
The Growing Rate of Depression, Suicide Among Asian American Students (http://www.pacificcitizen.org/site/details/tabid/55/selectmoduleid/373/ArticleID/490/reftab/36/Default.aspx?title=The_Growing_Rate_of_Depression, _Suicide_Among_Asian_American_Students_ - broken link)
The pressure to perfrom and conform in a compettive envronment where "failure" is seen as source of family shame can take a psychological toll on people.
Asians aren't "superior" to white people. No race is "superior" to another.
No, no, of course not. Not superior. It is just that some races are perennial LOSERS and some races are perennial WINNERS, but superior, not, not at all. Just like the New England Patriots are NOT superior to the Detroit Lions, just very very very very very very very LUCKY!!!!!
Now what exactly have Asian-Americans done that have been so fantastic? Nothing really. Asians have contributed by passing rigorous math tests and multiple choice exams. So what?
European sounding names do not necessrily mean European ancestary. Several of the inventors on the Wikipedia Inventor's List happen to be Black Americans.
Or you can stick your head in the ground and ignore facts.
Some people refuse to go down that path.
No one group is better in anything than any other group.
I believe culture and race may have an effect on people but I think I fall into a minority with that belief. And the effect may not always be a bad effect either.

Culture - in of itself - cannot be superior or inferior to others. The social values can be, to the extent that they either are a benefit to the people (as a whole) or a detriment. Example: A society that does not allow/support women to be educated, will eventually fail (in our modern world). But, for every action, there is a re-action: The Japanese have valued education & success and have instilled this (generally speaking) and it has become a powerful social mores. The counter-force it creates is a very high suicide, drug, and alcoholism rate. There is also a growing counter-culture that is rebelling from all that (a sort "punk" movement that involves more of a lifestyle change, than just the music).

Didn't realize so many on that list of inventors/artists are from Russia. Perhaps it's the combination of the east and west approaches (cerebral and spontaneous) due to geography.

LMAO....get some courage, then get back to me. I mean, if you don't want to come out and say what you REALLY want to say, then you can send me a PM. But i'm not going to play the "i'm going to insult so-and-so group, but i'll do it in a cowardly way" game!

The issue here is culture not race.
