Last elite bastions of admission solely on standardized test: Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, et al

<p>I think the more westernized Asians tend to marry outside of their race. Nine female members of an Asian friend’s extended family (both sides, cousins, etc) are married to Caucasian males. All had fathers who were uninvolved, too busy working to support their families, displayed very little affection or encouragement, kind of typical for male immigrants who only want their children to succeed in school so that they can have a better life than their parents. A tenth female member continuously laments how she wishes she had done the same, because her husband, a naturalized citizen, is also uninvolved and works long hours. The kids get everything they want, but bless their hearts, are not the least bit spoiled or entitled. All they want is encouragement and an occasional “good job”, which they rarely get. Considering how well they’ve done so far in life, it’s a shame, but I think they’ve resigned themselves to the fact he is who he is. </p>
