<p>Um. A lot of people wonder why Asians (I’m asian, just an fyi) tend to academically perform better than other races here in the US, and there’s a really simple explanation:
Natural Selection, to an extent.</p>
<p>Those Asians that could leave their country in the last century tended to have a lot of money; migration doesn’t come cheap, especially when a currency is significantly undervalued compared to the US Dollar. The ones with this money of course tended to be the ones who were either groomed to be rich, or were especially talented and intelligent and were able to move up the socio-economic ladder. Either way, the genes we’re talking about tend to be the highest of the Asian races. Moreover, those Asians that moved here and survived/thrived were the top few of the the top few who migrated. I hope you see what I’m getting at.</p>
<p>Basically, people tend to compare the average black/latino/white to the highest percentiles of asians in terms of genes, b/c only the highest percentile could manage to get over here.</p>
