Why are Asians the only minority group to surpass Whites in standardized testing?
a. Asian cultures focus more on education; thus, they will always surpass the White
culture in educational testing.
b. Asians were not as segregated as Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians, so the
lower socioeconomic communities do not exist that cause the lower education test
scores.
c. Many Asian immigrants came from India or the Philippines as children and
already spoke English, so they have not faced the socioeconomic challenges of
other immigrant groups.
d. Primarily Asian communities have lower crime rates, so children do not have to
worry about safety and can concentrate on education.
