No offense, but there are a lot of reasons why a dedicated research professor will always take an Asian student over an American. The main one being that the Asian will have ZERO social life; the professor knows that the Asian will be in the lab (or working out the details of the profs latest conjecture) 12-15 hours a day...7 days a week.
American education is so devalued that many professors won't take a chance on a native-born.

When I was in grad school (a few years ago) the Chinese students were there at all hours of the day and night. Very hard workers, but I did wonder just how much independence they had - study groups were very big for them.

And if he kills himself, you can always get another one.
