Right now, a good Jew Robert Unz is crusading the Jewish educational caste system. He compared fully academically meritocratic institution especially Caltech with Ivy league such as Harvard. He inferred that Harvard has a "Asian quota" while Jews are overwhelmingly over-represented.
For example, California has a population comparable to that of the next two largest states combined, and its 2010 total of 2,003 NMS semifinalists included well over 1,100 East Asian or South Asian family names. California may be one of the most heavily Asian states, but even so Asians of high school age are still outnumbered by whites roughly 3-to-1, while there were far more high scoring Asians. Put another way, although Asians represented only about 11 percent of California high school students, they constituted almost 60 percent of the top scoring ones. California’s list of NMS semifinalists from 2012 also followed a very similar ethnic pattern. Obviously, such an analysis based on last names is hardly precise, but it is probably correct to within a few percent, which is sufficient for our crude analytical purposes.
What he did not mention is among all academical meritocratical benchmark, Chinese exceeds any other group by a high margin. I will separate my write out in a few post.

First we look at national merit scholarship, which is among the few benchmark of ace students. Chinese sounding names are close to 40% among California recipient. Indian family, being as populous as Chinese, are far better educated than Chinese in Californa. However Indians sounding names appears to be less around 10%.
