> as a 19-year-old junior at SJSU studying computer science, Leu said many non-Asians don't appreciate "the Asian culture, where there is a deep work ethic that America hasn't really bought into yet."

Checks GDP per Capita[1]. I believe she meant "some Americans don't appreciate the Asian culture, where some Asians have a deep worth ethic that some Americans haven't bought really bought into yet."

for the most part, recent asian immigrants have an extremely flawed and incomplete view of american society and how it actually works. this manifests in all sorts of weird ideas about 'americans' (i.e. white people) and half-baked poorly-executed ideas about what it really takes to get ahead in this country.

example: college admissions.

Maybe I am confused. What does GDP have to do with this?

Since the P in GDP stands for productivity and the US has one of the highest GDPs I find it extremely ironic when someone says Americans don't have or don't understand work ethic.
