From BlogHer:
I recently interviewed Jennifer Lee, Professor of Sociology at the University of California,
Irvine, and co-author of The Asian American Achievement Paradox about her research.
… Jennifer Lee: We often think that immigrants are representative of their countries
of origin, but this is hardly the case, especially with Asian immigrants. Asian immigrants
are highly selected meaning that they are more highly educated than those who did
not immigrate.
