If a bunch of super-motivated Americans started immigrating en masse to a tropical island, where people tend to be laid back and unambitious, the natives would probably be alarmed when the Americans started aggressively out-competing and out-working them. It's a bit of nativist fear and provincialism from upper-middle class white people.[/quote]

Impressive post -- manages to unself-consciously deploy an incredibly racist trope to accuse others of racism.[/quote]

Racist against who? Asians or white people?[/quote]

I too was impressed. First PP also glosses casually over a lot of important issues. For example. Is this about who is working harder, or about who is working harder on different priorities? We're talking about kids here, so this begs another question, is the aggressive drive actually coming from the kids themselves, or is coming from their pushy parents? Good job combining racism and fuzzy/blurred assertions, first PP![/quote]
