Nope. This has been going on for decades, [b]and Asian Americans, as a group, are doing much better that ANY other group.[/b]

If anything, they are being run over by the BS-educated whites and blacks who need affirmative action programs (by race, legacy or sports) to compensate for their poor academic preparation.[/quote]

[b]You are mixing up testing well to actual success in the work force.[/b]
Being in the high tech field, I can tell you it is such a pain in my ass to work with Chinese and Indians.  It is quite clear they are lacking creativity and the ability to work as part of the team.
Europeans, both eastern and western Europeans, I have found have much stronger skills.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but life isn't all standardized tests.[/quote]

I am not the PP you are responding to. But here is what the Pew Research Center says:

[i]Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success, according to a comprehensive new nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center.[/i]

I certainly consider income, education, and satisfaction with lives and finances as measures of doing well. Perhaps you have a different opinion.
