I think you can put Asian in two categories: those who immigrated here and those who were born here. For the first group, they came here with the cultural background of being encouraged to achieve academically more than anything else. Also, the school curriculum in Asia is generally much tougher than those in U.S. high schools. I remember that I started learning calculus when I was 14. So when the first group got here, they just excelled in school easily. However, for the second group, for those born here, unless they still have very strong cultural backgrounds tied to their family upbringing, they are not much different than non-Asians in terms of academic performance. In addition, many Asians are discriminated against or feel disadvantaged in other aspects in school, such as sports and social circles. The only thing, then, that Asians feel they can compete and win in fair and square is academics. So they spend more time studying and learning. Moreover, our society strongly rewards those who have high educations with good jobs. So there you go!
