I think it is only fair to warn you, you should probably not pursue a degree in mind-reading. You are not very good at it.

What actually happened was my eyes missed "Asians in America make more on average than all other races", so what I read was a comment purely about academic successes equating to life success. Anyway, I think you need to quantify just how much more, on average, if you are going to use that as the metric that proves the academic success really brings success in life.

"Anyway, I think you need to quantify just how much more, on average"

As of 2007 census numbers, $80000 (median) in Asian households vs $65000, $41000, and $42000 in White, Black, and Hispanic households respectively.
