From the NYT:
A new scholarly book, “The Asian American Achievement Paradox,” by Jennifer Lee [UCI]
and Min Zhou, notes that Asian-American immigrants in recent decades have started
with one advantage: They are highly educated, more so even than the average American.
These immigrants are disproportionately doctors, research scientists and other highly
educated professionals.
