Are you saying that your kid is not athletic [b]because he's Asian-American[/b]? Like, there's something about Asian-Americans that makes them personally bad at sports, and so they have to work harder? You're not saying that, are you? Because that would be a ridiculous thing to say. Just like saying that there's something about Black kids and Latino kids that makes them personally bad at school, and so they have to work harder, is a ridiculous thing to say.[/quote]

Here is an example, in Clarksburg High School, the math proficiency rate for Asians is 80.8%, blacks 38.1%, Latinos 37.1%, whites 72.6%. These are students in the same school and taught by the same teachers.

How can this gap be reduced? How can those behind catch up with those ahead, if not by working harder?

Let's say there's a 100-yard race. Runner A gets to start at the starting line. Runner B must start 20 yards behind the starting line. Your take on this situation is that Runner B should work harder on running faster.[/quote]
