An Asian man goes to the eye doctor because he has trouble seeing.

The doctor inspects him and says "you have a cataract".

The Asian replies 'No, I drive a Lincoln Continental".

Apparently they aren't affected by racist jokes.

But sure let's apply broad conclusions, especially if it casts a bad light on black people.

My theory - they aren't very big from a stature perspective so physical labor doesn't suit them well, so their cognitive skills developed to compensate.

Wait, or maybe their cognitive skills developed first and their physical stature atrophied as a result of not being utilized.

They value a strong family and education.

That appears to be a formula for success.

Not for everyone of course, but in general it works best.

No, it casts a bad light on anyone who blames black struggles in 2014 on white privilege. A lot of black people don't do that. Some do. So do some white people.


You're the one stereotyping here.

As usual, tigahintheatl is stereotyping. He isn't black, either, so apparently he's one more guilty white liberal.

You are an idiot. Talk to Korean War veterans about how weak Koreans are. I've talked to white American Korean war vets who have told me that pound for pound Koreans are the toughest people on the planet.

You're the only person who said anything about the black community. Why so you think so little of the African American population?

What you're saying makes no sense. It wasn't that long ago that most people were hunter-gatherers, and Asia lagged behind the West in the Industrial Revolution.

Asians are going to lose minority status soon. There's already a lot of complaining that Asians count towards AA quotas and are taking educational and job opportunities that would otherwise be given to blacks.

In NYC they use purely academic criteria to determine who gets spots meant for minorities. Blacks are outraged and demand that they stop giving special treatment to Asians and start just awarding the spots to blacks.

in California they seem to dislike that Asians have been so successful in the tech industry. Why can't these rich evil white companies give success to blacks, too??

Shits turning into idiocracy, for real.

Feel free to contribute a counter argument. What is the cause of this statistical fact and how, if at all, does that confirm/dismiss several of the arguments out there?

If the eugenics adherents are so certain that it's Asian genetics solely responsible for that community's academic success then why haven't their American Indian distant ancestors faired overall as well?


Was that supposed to be a gotcha?

They are more intelligent than whites on average.
They put an extremely high value on education.
They work harder than whites on average.
They value the traditional, intact family unit more than whites.
They maintain the valuable influence of the concept of shame.
