Positive Sterotype

It's a pretty widely known positive stereotype that most Asians are good at math, and I think that this one might have some fact behind it.  Some possible explanations for this stereotype is that there are better schools in Asia, they go to school more often/longer, or they just put more emphasis on math.  Also, languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean might be set up better so that kids can understand things like counting and fractions more easily than kids can in English. But none of these explanations address the success of Asian-Americans with math.  I think that the main reason they tend do better is probably more pressure to succeed coming from their parents. Regardless of why they are better, or even whether or not they are actually better, I see it as a positive stereotype that people assume Asian people are really good at math.
