Note that most Asian immigrants to the US belong to the upper middle class in Asia. For example, if you are a farmer in China, you probably have no mean to come to the US. You are more likely to come to the US if you are a Chinese grad student with rich parents. On the other hand, many South Americans here are lower class citizens in their countries. That said, I believe the confucian culture of Asia encourages education so the children of lower class Asians in the US are still more likely to succeed in education compared to children of lower class Hispanics.

[quote=joec]In Asia, a lot of the kids do college level math, physics so if you just did the norm there, you’ll kick ass in college. I should know considering my ECON roommate knew how to do all my physics work which I struggled with from a lowly rated hs here.[/quote]
