This is a stereotype. I have taught in a Japanese high school. There are smart kids, lazy kids, and every type you can think of.

WHOA. Back up. Remember what I said in the original post? Hmmm? I KNOW not all Asians are smart/brainy. The stereotype isn't always true (that's why it's a stereotype), but the sterotype is still THERE. Thanks to everyone that answered, you did it without chewing me up and spitting me out. We were talking about it in Journalism class the other day, and another reason might be that in the US, EVERY. SINGLE. KID. is supposed to have the same opportunity (or so we say) to learn equally. We were like, honestly, how many kids with Down Syndrome would you see at a school in China? None, probably. But, I've never been to China.......................
