    This idea that Asians are obsessed with success in school and success in intellectual projects or whatever is so uniquely American. It’s in lockstep with fascists trying to claim the asian race is of a higher caliber because of American IQ statistics that don’t account for you know, Asians that live in Asia. Could it be that this cultural phenomenon might be the result of a very long lasting policy in the US that prevented poorer Asians from entering and becoming citizens in the country, and only limiting Asian professionals and wealthy families to come in? No, it must be that Asians are genetically more intelligent, or culturally more focused on intellectual pursuits.
