Z, > Dude, it shocks me that you can't see the difference.

Perhaps you should read this article from the LA Times and get back to me. The headline is sure to rub the Politically Correct gestapo the wrong way:

Why do Asian students generally get higher marks than Latinos?

latimes.com

Can't be wealth and circumstances:

> According to a study of census data, 84% of the Asian and Latino families in the neighborhoods around Lincoln High have median annual household incomes below $50,000. And yet the Science Bowl team is 90% Asian, as is the Academic Decathlon team.

Maybe stereotypes? Nah, I heard those who succeed despite coming from a poor background are the "exception."
