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. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

If you can't read a page from the Times I'm afraid that making you better educated is too much of a challenge for me this morning. Just don't piss and moan if your kids don't get into good schools. You're not modeling behavior very well. [ Reply | More

OR: the reply below was not me....but you might spark more interest and encourage discussion if you give more information...not just a link. Honestly...I come here for a quick peak/break while working and will now probably look in my paper when I get home tonight (so thanks for the heads up).

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.
