(Or maybe too reductionist. But mostly I heard racism.)


Interesting, I never took it that way. I would have thought it racist to say all Asian kids achieve higher just because they're Asian. I looked at is as a cultural thing, where intellectual achievement is valued more than working in a rice paddy; therefore the parents push their children to achieve academically.
