From The Economist:
In The Asian American Achievement Paradox, a study based on interviews with young
Chinese and Vietnamese in Los Angeles, as well as Mexicans, whites and blacks, Jennifer

They point to “ethnic capital” – the fact that these groups belong to communities
that support education – as part of the explanation.
