Indians, Taiwanese among California's most educated | California Watch

Californians who are Asian Indian or Taiwanese are among the most highly educated in the state, recently released census data shows.

Among both groups, about 7 out of 10 people ages 25 and older hold at least a bachelor's degree. On average, 3 out of 10 Californians have earned a bachelor's degree or higher.

The findings come from the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, which includes detailed estimates of social, economic and housing characteristics for 392 racial, tribal, Hispanic origin and ancestry groups. The five-year survey is the first time since the 2000 Census that such statistical detail has been available for the groups.

The data reveals significant disparities between racial and ethnic groups that often are lumped together.

For example, when counted as a whole, 48.5 percent of Asians in California hold at least a bachelor's degree. That number masks that 11.5 percent of Laotians but nearly 53 percent of Pakistanis have bachelor's degrees.

"Asians aren't all monolithic in terms of opportunities to higher education," said Joanna Lee, a senior research analyst at the Asian Pacific American Legal Center's Demographic Research Project.

Lee and her colleagues are working on an analysis of University of California and California State University data. Their initial findings show that "there's differences within Asian Americans as to who is actually enrolling and who is actually being admitted" that aren't apparent when Asian Americans are viewed as a whole, she said.

Income, poverty and, for immigrants, their pathway to the United States all play a role in educational attainment, Lee said.

Similar variations exist among Hispanics and Latinos: As a group, about 10 percent hold bachelor's degrees. But the rate is nearly 30 percent among Cubans, Dominicans and Peruvians, 8.5 percent among Mexicans and about 9 percent for Salvadorans and Guatemalans.

Among Latinos, educational attainment often reflects nativity and immigration patterns, said Mark Hugo Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center.

"Native-born Latinos look an awful lot like other young people in the U.S. when it comes to enrolling in school, their educational expectations," he said. "Among those who were born in other countries, however, you'll notice that very few have college degrees. … Many have no high school diploma."

For Latino immigrants, economic opportunities are by far the most common reason for coming to the U.S. But Peruvians and Salvadorans might come to the U.S. for different reasons, and different opportunities in their countries of origin might influence who decides to migrate, Lopez said.

Still, Pew research found that Latinos value education more than the general population: 88 percent of Latinos say a college degree is important for getting ahead in life, compared with 74 percent of the general public that says the same. When young Latinos were asked why they cut their education short during or right after high school, 74 percent say they did so because they had to support their family.

But the number of Latinos in the United States pursuing college degrees is on the rise. Among Latinos ages 18 to 24, college enrollment jumped 24 percent from 2009 to 2010, a period when their overall numbers rose by just 7 percent.

"In two decades or so, we might see a different pattern in (educational attainment) gaps than we do now," Lopez said.

Indians and Taiwanese are also the most wealthy groups in the state as well. It's good ammunition for the pro-college camp.

I'd like to see the numbers for the South East Asians. I made the connection between SEA's poorer economic/educational performance and their mass adoption of black urban culture, and for that, I was banned from Sohh.com.


As far As South East Asians, I've observed that:

Filipino's are mostly middleclass people.

Malaysians and Indonesian immigrants seem to do well here as well as Thai and some Vietnamese.

Hmong, Cambodians, Laos, and some Vietnamese seem to be permanently stuck in the cycle of violence, crime and Housing Projects.

@ you always using this as an opportunity to spread your race debate philosophies.....

With that said, whenever I visit my mom's job, Engineering Firm, the overwhelming majority of employees are of Indian and Asian descent.

How about the fact that they come from countries that have been at war right before they came here and they brought that anger and ready for war attitude with them. You see this with soldiers who leave war. They have to be taught to adjust to regular society. Yeah, they may have gravitated towards gangster rap and shyt like that because that is what there lifestyle is about BUT if they were in Mexico they would gravitate towards the Narcocorrido songs, if they were in Columbia and other Latin America countries it would be toward the same thing the only difference is a guitar would be the main instrument instead of drums and they would look like cowboys instead Jamal up the block and this is why I think you have a problem with blacks, you don't like the fact that the same people you are trying to get away from your people you claim allegiance to are emulating albeit the negative aspects of it. I see you aren't as intelligent as I thought you were.

Let me ask why are you so mad at blacks when Stockton is fukkED UP yet the blacks are not that high in population there?. The city is in a financial rut, and the crime is fukked up from the same people you act like are the best thing moving, and unemployment is high. Is all these problems from blacks?. You know the answer. You should really do some soul searching and break that curse your mother gave you. I bet your father would smack fire out your ass if he saw this delusional world you are living in. I'm not here to diss you but damn I thought maybe you would know better but you are a grown man still on this bullshyt. Do something better man, get that punk wife out your life, go to a better city to visit meet different types of women(don't bring all that Stockton hate with you) and live life. THIS IS HOW YOU REALLY LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE, NOT JUST BOOKS OR LIVING IN ONE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT.

Man your dislike for black people is so bad that you can't see things for what they are.

this. refugee immigrants aren't going to be making leaps and bounds in america like that for the most part. the U.S. allows them to take refuge here to avoid death or otherwise poor conditions.

indians, taiwanese? they only come over after the U.S. filters out those that aren't as educated as the others.

It's Gundam from Sohh. He is a confused self loathing bi-racial person who hates his African-American ancestry.
