Why would there be a Black-white gap (two groups that come from the same American culture) but not an Asian-white gap (two groups that come from different cultures)?

Black and white families are not in fact part of the "same American culture". And, of course, it's not the case that Asians uniformly outperform white subjects on the SAT; "Asian" comprises many different cultures, and not all of them are empirically advantaged in America.
