The truth about Asian Americans' success (it's not what you think)

[xiggi]

^ Nobody is forced to read articles like the OP or pay attention to the research that suggests:

Our research has made it clear to us that pundits should stop talking about Asian culture and start making supplemental education available to students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, including Asian ethnic groups that lack ethnic capital and don’t get a boost from this privilege, such as Hmong, Laotians and Cambodians.

Increasing funding for guidance counselors, coaches and college-bound classes is a start, but creating affordable after-school academies and tutoring programs in neighborhoods, for example, Los Angeles’ Koreatown – which is home to Angelenos from diverse background – could give children of immigrants across racial, ethnic and class lines the resources they need to succeed.

This will help prepare them for the diverse college environments and workplaces that many will enter. Making supplementary education available to other working-class children will do more than level the playing field to make it to college; it will also help today’s students succeed once they are there.

How often do you think this type of conclusion will be repeated in the future and become the basis for more suggestions in the same genre?

Again, is it really the path “we” should follow in a clear sign of abdication and recognition that the current “system” does not work as intended? Or should we accept that the system is a failed one that needs to be reinvented in such a way that “complementary” is hardly needed.

Should we not look for cures to gangrene instead of relying on bandaids placed on a wooden leg?
