Is academic achievement commonly associated with Asian students really based on immigration?

[epiphany]

What I’ve said for years on CC JHS also said:

The bottom line is that each of the seven or eight colleges that rejected “Asiandude” accepted hundreds of Asian candidates and hundreds of white candidates (in Berkeley’s case, thousands of each) with worse stats than he had.

AND

The 7 or 8 colleges that rejected him ALSO accepted Asian candidates with better “other” factors than he had. His list of “other” is not that impressive – not when it comes to elite institutions.
