In the past 100 years Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was forming. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on an Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively(客觀地). And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that promotes success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they form a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social separation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
