A comment on Asian American Discrimination in Harvard Admissions [pdf]. Parent comment
[okay, not bad, decent, awesome, fantabulous]
Depending on where you are, that might maps onto:
[horrible, passable, average, good, excellent]
In a management setting, those communications are sometimes obvious, but just as often you get into dynamics like:
* American managed by non-American: Constantly feeling criticized, like they're failing.
* Non-American managed by American: Often, not realizing when something went wrong.
Both sides need to be aware of the difference for this to work. It's a fair learning curve, but well worth it.
