I do agree that Asians are generally more educated than other racial groups, but I do not agree that they are more hardworking than other groups.
However, my experience has been with things being equal (college educated/hardworking/ good persona) Asians have an easier time integrating into white society than other minorities. Perhaps white people don't see Asians as a threat since the population is small. The Asian family in my neighborhood does not quite get the stare down that I receive. I temper this opinion with "looking from the outside in.?
