Because Asian families stress education and make sure that their kids do well. Often, the parents are only in lower income jobs because of a lack of English skills and/or "US Experience" (I don't know if this term is used in Stateside, but immigrants often have trouble getting work here in Canada because they lack "Canadian Experience"). Many of these immigrants are highly educated, sometimes with multiple degrees.
