Some people collect stuff, this is my 15 plus years collection of racial statistics, organized around statistics for Asian Americans. Most racial statistics are given for blacks, maybe hispanics, but very few for Asians. Asians are unusual in that they have both the characteristics of disadvantaged minorities, like the African Americans, and over-achieving minorities such as the Jews and Episcopalians.
What is remarkable is that, contrary to the popular thesis that Whites are always on top, and persons of color are always on the bottom because of racism, more often than not, Asians have lower rates of most headline problems. You'll almost never see them documented because of the unwritten rule that Whites must end up best and Blacks, worst. If you wander around, you'll also find evidence of when even the lower income, lower education Hispanics are better (AIDS rates, infant mortality, life expectancy) and even the few places where Blacks are better. I rank them, and figure out a conclusion instead of starting out with the conclusion and ommitting data that doesn't support it.
Asians have higher household incomes are healthier, get better grades and test scores, go to the best colleges at the highest rates in the most rewarding and difficult fields commit fewer crimes, and have more solid families in terms of structure than the whites, even though they may have a higher rate of poverty or live in poor neighborhoods. This makes the Asian Americans a potent weapon in the fight against classic liberal racial-marxism, the idea that all outcomes can be explained in terms of income and discrimination.
HEY, HERE'S THE FAMOUS LINE THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT IN THE 2000 SPI RACE: Some might call it an Asian superiority page, BUT HERE'S WHAT FOLLOWS: but I also dig up cases where Asians are weaker than average. If we're going to talk about racial inequality, we might as well get our facts straight. So here's what I'm saying - most numbers for Asians are BETTER than the majority, but not all of them are, and all races have some numbers that are better than whites.

Another group with a 50% college rate, high IQ, and 2-3% population
are the gays, but both Jews and Gays are very liberal and vote at
rates approaching unity, wheras Asians tend to be a bit more
conservative than the general population, and vote at very low rates.
Asians are highly represented as engineers and doctors, as are Jews,
but only at parity among new law students, and far below parity in
the law profession.
It is very difficult to find numbers of Jews. One reason is that Jews
have successfully lobbied NOT to be included in US Census breakouts,
however there are private surveys, the SAT, which records religion
data, and it is often possible to pick out likely jewish persons by
surname in awards lists.
Jews generally score higher than Asians, but the advantage is smaller
or disappears if compared against Chinese or Indians broken out
separately. Jews are proportionally stronger than the Japanese in he
Westinghouse Talent Search, but less than the Chinese and Indians.
Where the big differences are that Asians vote at the lowest, Jews
the highest rates, and Asians are among the most conservative, but
Jews the most liberal. In IQ, Jews are higher than Asians overall,
but not so far ahead of the Chinese or Indians.
In the Ivy League, one survey would put Asians behind, but the
Chinese ahead of Jews. When broken down by religion, no group scores
higher than the Jews in combined SAT, except Hindu Asians, mostly
Indian, who scored about the same. Asians overall scored slightly
ahead of whites, and are hurt by relatively poor verbal scores.

Why Isaac Newton was not a Chinese
Prof. Dr. Kenneth J. Hsü
http://www.searchanddiscovery.com/documents/Hsu/newton.htm
Search and Discovery Article #70002 (1999)
ETH Zürich
Hsü's Retirement Lecture, Delivered June 24, 1994, in Zurich
Why was it so difficult for a person of Chinese origin to accept
a revolutionary idea?
Yes, one can invent paper,... technological innovations, done... not
concerned about the philosophical truth. The philosophers were,
however, not able to be inventive; they could not rebel against
Confucius. That Isaac Newton was not a Chinese is thus not an
idiosyncrasy in history, but an inevitability.

@@Evolution
Also see intelligence and evolution Phillipe Rushton of Canada has this
controversial theory that the reason that Asians are smarter than
Whites than Blacks is because they are higher up on the evolutionary
scale and they appeared last. Also has wierd theories that size of
sexual organs is inversely proportional to health, skull size and
intelligence. This is widely regarded as racist, but an interesting
correlation if nothing else since nearly all the data on this page
indicates that Asians tend me be better in almost every point of
comparison where blacks are worse, and worse where blacks are better.
His explanations are odd, but if correlation isn't neccesarily
causation, the patterns are worth noting because his data appears to
be correct.

Although Asian Americans have played a significant role in American
life for more than a century,serious academic interest in their
history is a relatively recent phenomenon. The first generations of
professional American historians either ignored them or demeaned
them. After Asians were almost totally barred from immigrating to the
United States in 1924, successor academic generations began to pay
more attention, but they treated Asian Americans as victims of mob
violence, unjust federal immigration statutes, and state laws and
municipal ordinances limiting such choices as occupation and

Asians compared to Jews -
see chart on over-representation page
Asians have been compared with the Jews as the new overachieving
group, but it appears that only the top Asian ethnic groups are
really comparable, the Japanese, Indians, and Chinese.
"you will never, ever match us
European Jews in IQ or power" Montoya challenges Asian claims to
high performance compared to Europeans.
IQs of over 130 are 7 times more likely to be found in European
populations than in East Asian populations. China has a lower GNP
per capita than Morocco, and accounts for only 2% of Noble Prize
winners. China accounts for less than 6% of the world's GNP, and only
1/2 of its population are literate. China has 1 billionare, Japan
has 23, the USA has 276. Europe and North America are the only
places on Earth were % of global GNP exceeds % of world population.
