the work. more important for our purposes they're doing better and they're better educated and better off white peers. why are these groups doing better than the white average? doing better than better educated white kids? and from families higher in the socioeconomic level, we're not saying they're doing better than this other group that is persistentsly low income group. that's not the problem. we're asking how come they're doing better and better educated kids who start from a better place, and our answer its has to be something in the culture and upbringing. >> so you're focusing on the upside, the positive success stories. there are plenty of immigrant groups which are not doing as well as chinese americans are. so, if you look at -- what's a group that itch -- if you look is not doing well. >> well, actually, we look at some of the most disadvantaged groups in our book. we treat them quite carefully, and i think we're pretty -- it's like on the first page we're saying this has nothing to do with the triple package. >> i want an immigrant group that is not doing well the way chinese-americans are doing. >> there are many refugee groups coming over. obv

what's much more interesting is that these groups are doing better than the national average, the white average. that's what we're trying to explain. now, if you do look at these studies, they will tell you, very careful study, that latino-american kids in l.a. from the immigrant communities are not raised with the same high academic expectations. and we cite these studies in our book, and you can read them. it's very interesting. what are high expectations? they actually capture two elements of the triple package. a high expectation means on the one hand parents are telling the kids we know you can outperform the rest of your classmates. we know you're capable of it. that's the superiority complex. the expectation, the demand is the insecurity. well, if you don't to do that, you're going to disappoint us. you going to fail our expectations. you're going to disappoint yourself, you're going to embarrass our family. and this kind of careful cultural analysis has been done, and the people who have studied this mostfully conclude that those -- carefully conclude that those high expectation

white peers. that's what we're looking at. why are these groups doing better than the national average, the white average? why are they doing better than better educated white kids? and from families that are higher on socioeconomic level. we're not saying, oh, look, they're doing better than this other look that's a persistently low this many group in america. -- low income group in america. that's not what we're trying to answer. our answer is it's got to be something in the culture and upbringing. >> host: so you're focusing on the sort of upside, the positive success stories. who are the -- there are plenty of immigrant groups which are not doing as well as chinese-americans are. so if you look at what's a group that if you look is not doing well? >> guest: well, actually, you know, we look at some of the most disadvantaged groups in our book. we treat them quite carefully. and i think we're pretty, i mean, it's like on the first page. we're saying this has nothing to do -- >> host: well, no be, i want an immigrant group. give me an immigrant group that is not doing well. >> guest: okay. there are man

that's overlooking a period one of these groups doing that are than the national average, the white average and from families high on associate economic level, we are not saying they are doing better than this other group that is persistently low in a group in america. that is not a problem we're trying to solve. we are asking how come they are doing better and better educated kids who come from a better place. it's got to be something in the culture. >> host: you are focusing the upside, the positive success story. their plan of immigrant groups not doing as well as chinese-americans fire. so what is a group if you look is not doing well. >> guest: well, actually, we look at some of the most disadvantaged groups in our book. i think we are pretty -- it like on the first page we are saying this has nothing to do with the triple package. >> host: i want an immigrant group. what is an immigrant group not doing well? >> guest: there are many refugee groups coming out very. obviously they come over with nothing and so i will just say sudan for the hmong are a very, important group. you know --
