How Long Have Asians Been Academically Outperforming Everyone Else?

I think you are really confused. Asians do not always ‘outperform’ other ethnicities; there are plenty of other people who do better.
However, most Asians are good at math. I think that this started at around 1950~? and after WW2 when the only escape from poverty was to send a child to America, become educated, earn a lot. Ever since then, the competition rose and rose until how it is now. It is true that many Asian parents do prioritize academics but Asians do have a social life…
Hope this helped :)
