From The Atlantic:
The type of Asian immigrants who moved to San Jose “set up their children to be mobile,”
said Jennifer S. Lee, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine,
and the author of The Asian American Achievement Paradox. … “If you have a large proportion
of an immigrant group who is highly educated and skilled, they create the ethnic institutions
from which more co-ethnics can benefit, regardless of class,” she said.
