[ - ] Interesting new study covered in the Times deconstructs anti-Asian stereotypes in academia (http://www.collegeboard.com/press/releases/197310.html). Read it, share it. It's high time we were better educated about this. 16 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

NP, but I read it. It basically says that it's unfair to lump all Asian Americans into one high-performing category b/c the backgrounds of people from different countries are very different. It also says Asian Amer. are severely underrepresented in academic higher administration (presidents, for ex). and that unlike the stereotype, most Asian American students don't major in the sciences.
