[b]Data does not lie.[/b]  Look at the achievements of Asian-Americans in all schools and see where they are. Yes, the Asian-Americans who are in the US are US citizens born and raised here. But unlike many other immigrant stories, the parents have not cut off their relationship with their country of origin and they are highly educated professionals who have come to US. They will never dismiss the education that they got in their home country that allowed them to come to US, and they will always compare the education that they got in Asia to the education and rigor their children get here. While most of them are happy that US is not a pressure cooker enviornment, they are aware that the pace, rigor, and expectation is dismally low.

If Asian-Americans had not outperformed Whites in this country, no one would be talking about achievement gaps.  Achievement gap always existed between the Whites and Blacks/other minorities, but when the Asians started taking seats from Whites, the gap became the bleeding hemorrhoids in the backside of the policymakers.  Blacks and Hispanic children are not those who are impacted by Asian-American achievements. it is the Whites who are most advantaged when Asian-Americans are not given seats and opportunities.

No, but you sure can lie with data. Or even just mis-state it.
