[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I have found interesting is that under the previous regime, E Asians (e.g., China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan) were not over-represented and SE Asians (e.g., Singapore, Malaysia, Viet Nam, Thailand) were not over-represented.  Yet, both sets of ethnic groups are known to be very academically focused, with after school tutoring at hone or in a center other than Curie being fairly common.

Only S Asians were over-represented at TJHSST under the previous admissions regime, and Curie clearly targeted the S Asian parents.  Curious correlation.

I thought East-Asians have been over-represented since TJ opened in 1985.  It's just that there weren't that many Asians in Fairfax back then so TJ was mostly white until maybe 2012 or so.
The class of 2024 looks like East-Asians were definitely over-represented relative to the population in the county.

South Asians are just the latest in a long line of over-achieving immigrants that are labelled cheater because white people cannot fathom how these people with thick accents could possibly [b]be smarter[/b] than them.  These same people just stopped accusing East-Asians of cheating like 10 minutes ago.[/quote]

None of these groups are smarter than any others. Some just tend to have more resources than others.

More like some groups just study more than others.[/quote]
