I really do think it has more to do with bonding issues. In America, the way to do well is to form relationships. We are not as heirarchical or deferential to status as China. Just being very intelligent is not enough. America is not a place that reveres people just for being wise. American culture is an offshoot of British culture, which is an offshoot of Germanic cultures. Brotherhood is important. That's why the emphasis on sports, which teaches teamwork and cooperation, and how to resolve problems without breaking the bonds. The uppermost levels of society are full of people who played sports as children. Teaching children to make good grades doesn't help them learn to bond with others, form relationships that will help them all their lives.

". I know from first hand, several Chinese with pretty good English and Masters degrees got bypassed on managerial IT positions in favor of the white boys with high school degrees. " Please name the companies... and does this mean these caucasians don't have any IT experience. ..? I would think if they are putting High School graduates in managerial staff, it's a small company or the person has had years of IT experience. Remember Bill Gates is a college dropout. "Surprising or shocking?" Well you made up numbers in the past about how many Tibetans were killed by the British so.. no.. "Enjoy it while this white supremacists society still exists!" There is certainly racism (as there is worldwide.. it seems to be a human condition..) but if this is a society run by White Supremacists, why does affirmative action exist..? (which is available even to relatively recent non-white immigrants ..)
