A growing achievement gap between Asian American students and their white classmates is due largely to greater work effort and cultural attitudes, not innate cognitive ability, researchers say.

In a study published Monday in the journal PNAS, two sociology professors found that Asian Americans enter school with no clear academic edge over whites, but that an advantage grows over time.

Even if they come from poorer, less educated families, Asian Americans significantly outperform white students by fifth grade, authors wrote

Breh, I agree, but most Asians I've met and worked with aren't that much more intelligent either.
I mean, SOME of them are very hard-working, but the strong majority of them lack common sense.
You have to explain to them how to do the simplest shyt a dozen times before they get it.

White kids fall behind in school: "Oh, it's just a cultural thing!"

Black kids fall behind in school: "******s are intellectually inferior with smaller brains and lower IQs."

Of course its a cultural thing. The understanding that in America, parental pressure to achieve a specific goal can lead to a pretty good outcome (good school, well-paying job) is pretty ingrained in Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese and Korean societies. It was a part of their culture back home, especially when you have to crawl to the top (ie India). For African American students, there was never that "old culture" experience, because we were enslaved here. African parents are more in line with that "push your child to become at least upper-middle class" mentality, which is why you see more of them in Ivy league/high ranking schools, and STEM majors than African Americans.
White kids are given about the same motivation as Black students there's just a larger percentage in better school districts, with wealthier parents and better schools, so they naturally have an easier time doing better. Were wealth equal between Blacks and Whites in America, we would see about equal representation, but the Asian and African children would still be excelling. Our culture as African-Americans would have to change for an increase in success in terms of school and career.
