Reply #20: Cultural differences, of course - just because you refuse to believe something doesn't mean it isn't

[Donald Ian Rankin]

true.

The difference is almost certainly that, for cultural reasons, Asian parents are more likely* to raise their children in ways that result in academic success than Latino ones.

One of the big differences is very likely average* amount of effort the parent invests in their child's education.


*N.B. These statements, if expressed in absolute rather than statistical terms, would be both bigotted and untrue; expressed statistically they're simple common sense. Many Latinos will invest more in their children than many Asians. *Never* forget "on average" "more than 50%", "in distribution" and the like when they're needed.
