From Examiner:
Decoupling race and ethnicity from achievement could give young Asian Americans more
freedom in choosing careers, says a new study. For Chinese and Vietnamese immigrant
parents and their children, success is equal to getting straight As, graduating from
an elite university and pursuing an advanced degree. However, these narrow measures
of success can make those who do not fulfill the strict aspirations feel like ethnic
outliers, warn Jennifer Lee of UC Irvine in the US and Min Zhou of Nanyang Technological
University in Singapore.
