haha.  you all are too funny.
as a non-asian, i'd rather have my sons be the nerd in high school.  all the popular (and mostly white kids) became unrecognizable when we had reunions during college - overweight from too much beer.. also balding early. and all the girls became wrinkly and old fast too.  there's something to be said about hard work paying off in the end.  it's the nerds that are successsful now with beautiful families.  i'm making broad generalizations here, but if i had a choice, being a nerd is better.

Really? Because the most successful people I know have both high IQ and EQ, not one more dominant than the other. In fact a lot of successful people at work are average or a little above average intelligence with high EQ and social skills. The ones with mostly high IQ and low or seemingly non-existent EQ are in a career rut; they have gone as high as their IQ has allowed but do not seem to be able to achieve anything more.[/quote]

You know, being a nerd in high school does not translate to low EQ.  Usually the kids that work hard in high school are late bloomers.  The slackers with "high EQ" won't go anywhere in life.  I'm sure all the successful "white" men in high level positions that you know worked there way to get there.

Interesting enough.. when all the big law firms had their huge layoffs a few years ago, my husband was one of the last to survive in his class.  We are minority.  Many tall white guys were cut... so yes, smarts do matter. [/quote]
