From the supplier: There is a myth that Asian American students perform better on mathematics tests, particularly the SAT, and that a so-called smart gene is responsible. Research, however, indicates that there is a direct correlation between socioeconomic factors and how well Asian Americans fare on math tests. If this is factored in then Asian American students resemble other students, assuming they master English.
