Following on from the discussion in the Cam thread.
I wanted to ask why is that race in particular so clever in regards to academia.
"As it is among the Jewish community, Pakistanis (like most of the Asian citizens) simply treasure education to such an extent that they give 110%.
Make no excuses for themselves.
Parents accept no excuses". - Some quote I found.
To give examples my old maths tutor got 4 A's at A Level back when there no A stars, and he told me that his whole family went to top unis/professions etc.
And another boy at my SF college, got 4 A's 95%+ average in all 4 AS subjects, and he was 15 at the time (year 10 doing them early).
Then there is the case of the two pakistani boys who got 23 A Levels...
Is there a secret to doing so well?
What do they do that others don't?
Why is that race are so intellectually clever whereas other ethnicities aren't as high achieving?
Also don't say 2.2
Piqued my interest, would like to hear responses.
