Are they just "poor test takers" or is it something lacking in their genomes, but present in the Asian-American gene makeup?
None of the above. It is the environment in which they are raised, the opportunities they are given, and the expectations that are made of them.
Trap
any person in an inner city ghetto, give them no real education and no real opportunities to ever do anything meaningful with their lives, and you will almost always get poor performance on standardized tests.
American Blacks and Hispanics have the lowest scores on standardized IQ tests. These tests are given in the first grade, and as such the results have nothing to do with so-called inner city ghettos or any expectations that would be made of them. What kind of expectation would even be placed on a 6-7 year old kid relative to the taking of a test at this young age?
Now to the "inner city ghetto". First of all no one is "trapped" in an inner city ghetto. Because of the liberals, all people have the opportunity for "uppward mobility". If you're a lazy SOB , you have no one to blame but yourself if you're stuck, on welfare , and going no where in life.
As far as IQ tests, the plain truth is that 33% of the IQ is derived from the genome. The rest is determined by the educational environment in and outside of the home. Do your kids read books at home, or do they sit with their over weight parents eating potato chips and watching TV on a 40 inch screen, day after day.
Why would any woman with character and any sense of pride, allow herself to produce 8 children in 9-10 years, live on welfare at the rate $1000/child/month, consume hundreds of $$ in food stamps and moreover, if that isn't enough, have a different father for each kid and not even know who the individual father is?
Why are there generations of folks "stuck" on welfare? One answer, it's easier to stay in bed when the temp in a city like Chicago is -20 F, and not have to go outside and wait for the bus, while freezing your ass off so you can go to work. Stay in bed and let the crazy liberals pay you thousands in welfare $$ , food stamps, and public housing.
Yes, there are many upwardly mobile black folks, and Mrs Obama happens to be one. Why? Because her mother and father maintained a good home life and her father worked a solid City job, while his wife kept a good and decent home for the entire family. Also notable is the fact that Mrs Robinson ( Mrs Obama's mothers name ) had only 2 children and she was married to the father of her children.
