well they make that generalization when there are few asians...remember in the movie, MEAN GIRLS, where they were pointing out the nerdy asians from the cool asians?
 that was priceless..you can be a smart asian and then be the most popular one...because this girl at my school is UBER smart and everyone knows her for her "smartness"..

That really isn't such a bad thing, but generalization in general is bad.

Because the majority of the students with high academic rates are asian. Well, that's what it's like in San Jose. It's a fact.

cause. most of us study harder and get good grades than most of you. :P
and parents make us take SAT II classes... even if we're only in 8th or 9th grade. xO |

Maybe because people are into the whole, "Oh.. my sister's son got into a good school, you should too. So, come on." Yeah... that's how parents around here are. But I don't study.

yeah, its because asians study harder because of the way their parents raised them (like how they were raised back in asia). and out parents force us to take extra SAT classes and other classes to do better in school

im not asian, so i dunno, but my asian friends are smart, but i know a lot of asians who arent so smart (although that migh have something to do with the drugs...ehem) i think that they consider all asians to be overpressured japanese because traditionally their culture makes them try harder and be pressured into good grades by their parents. am i right? so i think its mostly because of that

Schools in the Asian part of the world have set their standards higher than normal American school standards. That's one reason. Since the schools in Asia have such nice and high standards, they have well trained teachers as well.
