I think the success of Asians is due to the nature of who from Asia gets here. If you take the elite of any group and transport them into the full spectrum of population of another group - it is only natural that the elite will excel.

A friend of mine was with a state education department not long after the first wave of Cubans arrived there. The schools in the Cuban communities were invariably the top schools in the state. No one thought that Cubans were inherently more intelligent than everyone else. It was that the first wave of Cubans who left were the best of the best and cultured for success.
