Black female California school superintendent fired because she was asked about why the district’s Asian students were getting better grades than other student groups. She responded that Asian students do well in school because they are from wealthy families who recently emigrated from China.

The truth will get you fired.

Is it the truth if the Asian kids are from established American families and are not immigrants? Or is one group's family culture prioritizing academic achievement?

the latter, it's 99% cultural. If parents, no matter their background, value the kid's achievement at school instead of claiming that being a good student is "a white thing", then obviously the kid will fair better. It doesn't matter if the dad is a genitor and the mom a waitress.
