6. what was the cultural reasons? if these cultures are so superior, than why

are their countries of origin such huge messes?

greeks/indians/chinese do not experience inter-generational racial oppression the way blacks/hispanics do. They self-select into America, in a way that usually only the middle class can afford to immigrate here. Which means they come with a level of education, and their children are children of educated parents. If any of these countries were adjoining America, in a way that only their very poor came here, we would not see this success pattern.

there are a shit ton of other reasons they succeed, none of which have to do with cultural superiority.
