Because learning in a foreign language, along with trying to make your way in a foreign culture, are a major handicaps.

So, according to you, chinese culture is a handicap to the chinese, who, despite being the smartest people in the world, can't handle it. So how come all the chinese in china are climbing the walls to get into Harvard? "Cultural handicap" doesn't stop them.

I have not written anywhere that the Chinese are the smartest people in the world. I have quoted studies that show they have above average IQ's and that is why they have generally excelled in schools and in the private sector. It's mainly IQ, rather than hard work, that's gotten them there. But that is immaterial. It boils down to the question - should Asian Americans have the same rights as other Americans? If you think they shouldn't, maybe you would be more comfortable posting on Stormfront rather than Free Republic.
