Why not? This issue has been a “thing” for decades, and that is the subject of the this writer’s particular research.

What is the issue?

‘Cause Asians are smarter than everyone, Latino and blacks make up the bottom of the field as usual as the white race is the middle average. AT least thats what I get out of that racist chart.

One part family life, one part the instilled ambition to be better.

Ben Carson, a “black” man and former brain surgeon, grew up in poverty with a single-mom. But she was a Godly woman who raised her sons right, and gave to them, instilled in them, the ambition to be better. His genetics did not hurt him.

The third part of the answer is it’s not genetics.

Immigrants of all sorts come with the ambition that they have to push themselves and their kids to get ahead here. On average most legal immigrants do not sit back and rely on average ambition to do well. They figure that will not be enough.

About 88% of Asians in the U.S. are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants.

Bringing that up only rouses the rabble. Because its true.
The Bell Curve and IQ tests dont lie.

Asians are not smarter than Whites, if that was the case that whole continent would not be the F’ed up S-hole that it is. We just have a dis-proportionate number of the smart ones here who decided to leave because it is a F’ed up S-hole

I have often thought that Jewish people tend to be so successful simply because their culture values and EXPECTS professionalism and success.

Not quite. The highest average IQ’s in the world are blue-eyed people at 115 iirc, a slice you will rarely see published. “Asians” is very broad term and it is a lie that they are “smarter” than everyone else. Look to the interior of China and the big city slums for that reality check.

Asian parents pull the shame card when their children are not applying themselves.
The other races less so, they make excuses and cast blame instead.

Good Job, Asian parents and children. Keep it up.

GIGO.

some kids/cultures are ineducable. Not that they’re not CAPABLE, but they refuse to accept western standards of education and the government-union run “learning” environment, choosing instead to rebel.

“I have often thought that Jewish people tend to be so successful simply because their culture values and EXPECTS professionalism and success.”

Yes. And there are historical reasons that culture developed particularly over the centuries in the Jewish diaspora in Europe, and European antisemitism played a role in that as well.

Exactly. Over a billion Chinese, and the smartest of them emigrated long ago.

How do you explain this?

I know how a woke liberal would explain this:
The people who drew up this test for proficiency were RACISTS
The people who established the standards for proficiency wereRACISTS
The people who administered the test were RACISTS
The people who tabulated the results were RACISTS
And the people who drew up this chart and published it were RACISTS

BTW, your posting it to FR makes you a RACIST...

Why is it broken out by “race”?

"Latino" is tricky, as it is legally classified as an ethnicity, rather than a race. It makes all the tracking immensely more complicated.

I assume when they say Asian, I wonder if the numbers would be higher if it weren’t for the Pakis and Afghans?

Teaching stopped when indoctrination started

let me expand on that thought...

learning stopped due to lack of accountability on the learner

teaching fruitlessly continued for a while

realizing there was a captive audience (don't waste an opportunity)

teaching gave way to indoctrination
