I don't think it's either/or. It's genetics and a certain drive/ethic.
Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld talk about this in their book "The Triple Package". The Triple Package is:
--You have to believe you're superior (you just don't admit it publicly).
--You have to want to prove you're superior (need a certain amount of insecurity)
--You need to be in a family/culture that celebrates delayed gratification.
It's not that the Asians are so smart; it's other demographic groups make such bad decisions: truancy, disrespect for authority, dropping out of high school, teen pregnancy, drugs, high illegitimacy rates, etc.
It's culture. Look at this video. It's mind boggling. I don't think people realize how bad it has gotten:
quoting a bunch of pseudo race scientists whose methodology is faulty, and has been discredited by mainstream academia, and that their so-called "work" is often used to justify white nationalism and racialist ideology.
Here are the references for the study. You really think these guys are pseudo race scientists or is that your conclusion since you simply don't like what they have to write?

Another interesting topic is appearance. She won't leave the house without looking good from head to toe. I often ask her why she just doesn't roll out of bed, throw on a baseball cap and jeans and roll? That she attributes to being Asian and she says "image and your appearance are treated much more importantly to Asians than folks from the West."
Americans used to pay more attention to appearance even back in the 80s when I was growing up. We've become a nation of slobs. It's really embarrassing. No healthy sense of pride or dignity. In my travels, I noticed people in "poor" Latin American countries dressed more nicely than Americans.
Perhaps you can write that you've admitted to quoting a bunch of pseudo race scientists whose methodology is faulty, and has been discredited by mainstream academia . . . .
You're just repeating ridiculous lies.
Quote:
and that their so-called "work" is often used to justify white nationalism and racialist ideology. But I won't hold my breath.
You might have better reception at a AmRen convention. Give that a try.
White nationalism is justified by morality, not "race science". People have a right to self-defense, and people engaging in self-defense are the good guys.
I'm curious what's so different about Asians compared to other minorities. I've been looking at Greatschools.org stats and it doesn't matter if it's east coast or west coast, Asians do well at school and follow white stats closely but there's a HUGE disparity with Hispanics and blacks.
In San Diego I noticed a majority Asian school in a mid/low income neighborhood do great (at least on paper) comparable to wealthy majority white areas. In this particular school even the other minorities do higher than state average.
Although looking at other stats, San Diego county seems to be doing good with schools in general. But yeah, why are Asians different and what can we do to improve the school experience/results for other minorities?
Bring this to your next Pioneer Fund meeting or AmRen convention. You'll get brownie points, no doubt.

Americans used to pay more attention to appearance even back in the 80s when I was growing up. We've become a nation of slobs. It's really embarrassing. No healthy sense of pride or dignity. In my travels, I noticed people in "poor" Latin American countries dressed more nicely than Americans.
Yeah, that's actually one of my pet peeves with the "too casual" look these days. Even Europeans tend to reserve athletic wear for when they're actually exercising, rather than to go everywhere in it.
Many (most?) Asians in the US are the cream of the crop Asians, the ones with the brains and money to make it here, the engineers, the PhDs, the business owners, the ones on the far right of the Asian IQ Bell Curve. The median Asian is still back in Asia sewing Nike shoes or slapping iFads together or picking rice. Most of those in India and China live worse than the poorest Americans.
Maybe, but many of the over achievers come from very poor families.
Yeah, that's actually one of my pet peeves with the "too casual" look these days. Even Europeans tend to reserve athletic wear for when they're actually exercising, rather than to go everywhere in it.
