[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If IQ tests are supposedly rigged and culturally biased to benefit the white establishment and high-SES, how come it's disproportionately second-generation middle class Asians getting high scores?[/quote] I think it is because the immigrants from China and Southeast Asia that come to the US are not a whole slice of the pie they are a stratified part of the Asian community. The part that has been educated historically and/or values education as the road to advancement. You see the same thing among other immigrant populations that have higher percentages of their elite educated class immigrating. It depends on who is immigrating. It takes chutzpah to pick up and leave your home to move to a new place where the language and customs are completely different. There is some self selection going on. [/quote]
