I read somewhere that the average income for an Asian American was upwards of 10 grand more a year than a Caucasian.

A study showed that as a culture overall they have a higher IQ as well.

I do know in these parts much of it is family structure, that the grandparents, parents and children will all live together under one roof and so when both parents are working there is no drop off supervision and guidance. Their children also study their homework in groups, often working as a team.

I don't know about that but they are damned good at arithmetic.

For example say If I go though a checkout and my bill comes to $12.61, I like to avoid getting a lot of small change in my pocket, so if I have it, I will hand over 13 dollars in bills and a dime and a penny, so that I can get 2 quarters back.

Nine times out of then if it's some American kid they will just give me a blank "WTF"? stare. Often they will give me 39 cents in change and then give me back my 11 cents. It just blows their minds.

However if I do this at the Chinese Restaurant they instantly understand and hand me 2 quarters.

In my area there are thirty three known Asian gangs.

I think this is another area where they have outdone their Caucasian and Latino counterparts.

They tend to operate mostly within their own community and stay invisible to outsiders and police. Could be peer pressure too as they need to excel in something?

They aren't invisible in my community or to law enforcement.

There are several Asian gangs in Portland also. They aren't necessarily invisible, but they do seem to hassle each other more than they mess with people outside their culture unless another group is trying to muscle in on their territory or distribution.
