My parents had an ES education.  At one point, we were on food stamps here, so no, we were not well off by any measure compared to the rest of the US.  It was incredibly difficult for them. No community to speak of here back in the 70s. No school communication in their language.  My parents had help from one family member here who was not well off himself.

The story of many Asian immigrants is the same story as most of white people immigrants 100 years ago.   Many such immigrants struggle, and that is why many value education and want their children to get a good education to have a better life.[/quote]

That goes for most immigrants, doesn't it?[/quote]
I would think so.  So, it's a mistake to think that [b]most Asian immigrants are educated[/b] and therefore, it's no surprise their kids have a high IQ or do well in school.   That is not the reason why so many Asian American students do well in school.  That was my point.[/quote]

Most are, these days. That's a matter of fact, not opinion. Obviously most is not all, and generalizing as if there were such a thing as a universal Asian-American experience is foolish.[/quote]
Many of the recent immigrants are but not the ones who came here 15 to 20+ years ago.[/quote]
