Minority participation rates for taking the SAT meet or exceed their numbers in the general population.

The second graph is more telling and closely follows the stats in the “Bell Curve” IQ testing book by Charles Murray.

I did find it interesting that asians have slightly better academic achievement even though more whites have completed the so-called “Core Curriculum”.

Even with a dumbed-down SAT (the test has changed a lot in the last 10 years), expect to see little improvement in SAT scores unless we get a huge increase in Asian students. You could attribute results to work ethic and the relative level of cultural reinforcement or you can ascribe to immutable innate traits. The numbers don’t lie.

I'd be all for allowing more of them to immigrate here. But instead our government wants to fill all available slots with illegals from south of the border whose countries don't have such a good academic track record.
