From the NYT:
I’m fortunate. My parents are highly educated Korean immigrants who armed me with socioeconomic resources that poised me for educational success: private schools, SAT prep courses and math tutors. But had my parents lacked these resources that gave me an educational advantage, I would have benefited from the resources available in Korean communities, including supplementary education programs. These resources are created by first-generation immigrants, and help boost the educational outcomes of their second-generation children.
