I think it's funny how so many people talk about genetics without really having the first clue what they are and how they work.
That aside, I don't think most people really understand how incredibly powerful culture can be in forming a person in terms of drive, motviation, and determination. And the traditional culture of many asian communities does not tolerate failure or anything less than perfection. Sure, there's lots of asian students who do not do well, but there you get into distinction between american asian etc, whatever. They have a very structured lifestyle in that case.
It doesn't matter what your genes are, we all know stupid people who make straight A's and geniuses who fail. It's about your environment, and most importantly, your motivation to do well that matters most.
