It is undeniable that Americans, White and otherwise have become highly complacent due to 'being on top' and very comfortable, as a result have we've developed an inferior work ethic in education and our jobs to certain other groups...

This thread is still racist!
1. don't hate the player, hate the game
2. true, immigrants are the ones that have more balls to go across oceans to improve their lives

SAT and ACT tests are irrelevant, dated, and not universal. Most asian people who score high on them don't even care. With or without these tests, asians still dominate academically, financially, and socially. Asians are the reason why the US has a chance to compete... They take the least welfare, lowest in crime rate, and add a lot of tax revenue to the econmy. Hug the next asian you meet.

Asian Americans are #1 on the SAT

They will be the new American Elite
One of the main reasons is that it's a skewed sampling of population. For example, the typical Chinese person emigrating to the US, coming here to study etc. is a top 1% type.....not some semi-literate peasant or average wei factory worker.

So, not shockingly their kids tend to be smart, the family highly values academics, has a strong work ethic etc etc etc.

The same can be said for any cherry picked group via immigration. You can hug us for building a country where you can use your skills and prosper outside of oppressive, rampantly corrupt emerging nations.

It has nothing to do with your ethnicity anymore than it does that of some brilliant scholar that comes here from Nigeria or Syria.

There is a reason. They score an average of 105 on a certain "measure" that has fallen from politcal favor. They are a credit and great benefit to our melting-pot nation.

This whole thread reminds me of how China boasts the highest test scores in the world.

(Based upon the segment of the population that they let take the test.)

Whites (that get advanced technical degrees) have much higher scores than Asians.

Hoping the concept of sample bias sinks through some heads around here.

Somehow you read an example trying to help the OP understand sampling bias <> some sort of proof of racial acuumen and then made some rambling non-point.

Can't read, can't follow the point of the conversation and can't make a coherent argument....ending with a verbal attack? Don't let the door hit you on the way out sport.

Because the SAT is culturally biased. Ask any leftist. He or she will agree.
Exactly. I can practically smell the Korean barbecue that the WASPs are cooking up on everything bent over for a #2 pencil.
