Thanks for the response. I'm very concerned about the state of education in inner cities, but often I see arguments that use IQ in relation to Asian Americans as a reason why students in the black/latino communities have not achieved.

I know about the immigration act's effect on the Asian American population because I was an Asian/Asian American Studies major. That your comment received so many upvotes explains some of why these beliefs are so pervasive.

Moreover, our curricula are incredibly tone deaf if this major shift in the American population isn't required knowledge for passing American history.
