They are ethnically similar: <Although different ethnically, they are remarkably similar in having very high educational attainment, as well as median income much higher than the average American median income. > Having a high functioning brain is an ethnicity in itself. Like being tall. Tall people, from whichever place on the planet, are an ethnic group. Brain function is like being tall. The genes are spread far and wide. The reason "Asian" immigrants do well in the USA is primarily because they are selected for high functioning brains.That is rarely expressly said, but when "Business migrants" are selected as in NZ's case, the reason people can qualify as business migrants is because they have been clever enough to earn and save that much money, which others with lower functioning brains were not able to do. People from Zimbabwe and England with high functioning brains have more ethnically in common with each other than they do with their compatriots who wear a bone in their nose and chant incantations over chicken entrails, or end up drunk in the gutter after a fight at a soccer match. It's amusing that Negros in the USA voted en masse for Obama as though he is one of them. He is from slave-owning Kenyan ancestry and a Euro mother. He has more in common with other high-functioning of his European ethnic ilk than he does with the gutter rap purported cuzzies though he finds the Negro votes useful to get what he wants, which is loads of loot and being the boss, having date nights in a 747 with it all laid on. Luxury to make any European aristocrats green with envy. Melanin in skin is a very superficial aspect of ethnicity. The content of a brain matters infinitely more than the content of the skin. Racial analysts just see "Asian". Look a little deeper than superficial race, or ethnicity, to find the grey matter that matters. Of course some races do have better brain function than others as you suggest [it's not educational instruction which makes the high-functioning brain]. Mqurice
