The rap on Asians is that they are light in the creativity department. And oddly enough, I have yet to run into a top notch Asian lawyer - yet. Maybe they have a cultural bias against the social sciences, and think it is all just BS or something. I think this is enough sweeping generalizations for one paragraph.
Yeah, there is a cultural bias against social science. But it also makes sense. Asians suspect that they will be discriminated against so they pick fields where hard facts count more than connections, upbringing and so on.
