      This tweet makes me really appreciate Asian humility and work ethic. See, it's obvious to Asian kids that it's not enough to be smart, you also have to work your butt off.https://twitter.com/nhannahjones/status/1004798283498295302 …

      And I, a very studious and motivated student, worked hard, did all my homework every night, but wanted to play sports, and hang with my friends and watch movies when I was done. I would have balked at test prep. Didn’t make me lazy, or dumb, or undeserving. We need to get a grip.

      No point in working hard as an Asian in America. You'll always be a third-class citizen and will never outcompete the slacker Asians who just stay local and inherit whatever family business.

      1) Adjusted for education, Asians do significantly worse than whites. Most Asians come to US high education and then only go downhill 2) the Asian averages dragged up by Indian-Americans (who are sometimes white-passing). Other groups do much worse.

      There is basically 0 payoff for an Asian-American to work hard and go to a good school. Their classmates significantly outearn them to the point where slacking off and going to a local state school gives you the same financial outcome, but leaves u with better community network

      Tbh I think that's true for most smart people of a STEM disposition (better to go to state school for undergrad and save money)

          Engineering/tech is generally not a good path for Asians. Silicon Valley has fewer Asians in management than any other industry in America. Even law and politics better choices. Contrasts with widespread prevalence of successful South Asians.
