Asians and Asian Americans
Colleges and University Recruiting of Asians
In America it is a stereo type that all Asians are smart. The thing that is most interesting about that stereo type is that it may actually not be a stereo type at all.
In America 86% of all Asians have a high school diploma and 50% of all Asians have a Bachelors Degree from a college or university. These statistics alone can be used to see why many colleges and universities want to recruit these types of people.

If most Asians have a high school diploma that means that most of them are going to be attending a college after they graduate from high school. And if half of the entire Asian population graduates with a 4 year degree that means that they are solid investment for those higher education universities that have something to offer.
So as a demographic to the yearly recruiting schedules of those work for colleges and universities it would a a bright, economic, and academic move to purposefully scout out and recruit Asian high school students.
