I'm not sure if that's true, but it's presumably what the other person was saying they observed. Though I think in casual conversation, the reality is that P(racism | <such a sentence>) is likely higher than "baseline", I'd prefer to give the benefit of the doubt on HN.
Also, much prefer a place where mentioning "race" doesn't immediate trigger strong reactions. "Race" being in quotations, because I think the original sentence has more to do with the culture of (certain parts of?) Asia rather than actual race.
A side analogy: I think that Asians are more likely to like Hello Kitty than non-Asians.
I don't think this is racist. Why do you think it is a negative thing? I'm Asian myself and I admire those who achieve. Way better than spending youth in BS activities.
Although I agree, I think there is a mild hazard with the label of "model minority". Not saying a reaction like that is really warranted in this case, though.
