  Japanese Americans do much better than white males in many professions including higher education does that mean system is biased towards them? How come those politicians who talk non-stop about minorities never mention Jews, Indian Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans as minorities and extend the same benefits to them ? The reality is that different cultures value different things and pursue different dreams. Only politicians benefit by peddling the agenda that some other group is keeping another group down. As an Indian education was extremely valued in the family, education not only ensured prosperity but status and excellent marriage opportunities. Automatically academic and intellectual success is something I have pursued and probably my children would do the same. My parents sold many items to put me through colleges and I would do the same for my kids. White Americans on other hand have different concepts of status, a football player is considered as cool where as smart boy is considered nerd. Guess who gets more dates ? USA was founded on the principle that people should be free to pursue their own values. What we do not want is politicians forcing needless values on us.
