[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op it’s a little obnoxious to say these culture value education as if American white people don’t. The immigrants coming here usually from wealthier background so there’s also that. [/quote]

Op again, I saw some white kids (and even fewer black and Hispanic kids but those systemic issues are well researched and noted) at my sons ‘It’s academic’ completion this weekend. That is also a quizzing team activity and they were definitely under represented. Our highest level math class has lower than 15% white kids in a school with over 50% white by demographic. Sure, it’s all anecdotal but I’m sharing what I see.
I understand why Asian parents push education [b]even though I don’t[/b]. Because often in our countries of origin, completion is intense  and you try to inculcate the same work ethic in your kids. The analogy doesn’t extend directly to sports for kids being raised in relative comfort and privilege.[/quote]
Seriously? You’re thinking demographics at an “It’s Academic” quiz show are a meaningful indicator of anything other than that a tiny minority of families know about this competition?

I’m doubting the bolded. [/quote]
