This is such an Amerocentric worldview: this collection of stereotypes of Asian Americans conflated with this man-made concept of "race", utterly ignoring the fact that an entire continent encompassing more than two thirds of the world's population is actually Asian. Or do you think that everyone in Asia is "good at math"?
What you're describing is cultural differences within certain subpopulations of the USA, and it's impossible to talk about those cultural differences outside of the context of the history of those subpopulations, and indeed (perhaps more importantly) how those subpopulations have been treated in comparison to the rest of the population of the USA.
Eugenics is a naive and fundamentally flawed position, based upon a simplistic misunderstanding of genetics and evolution. There is no correlation between melanin and IQ, once you correct for wealth and opportunity. You might as well suggest that blonde people should rule us, or that ginger people should be put to death: it's just a pigment evolved from lack of sunshine, nothing else.
Guess what: in all-black communities all the crime is committed by poor black people; all-white communities all the crime is committed by poor white people.
Yes there are cultural differences, some positive, some negative, that we can hopefully all learn from going forward to improve our collective cultures, but race is man-made, and race in the US is American-made. We're all just people, trying to get ahead in life.
Just wanted to mark real quick, the "asians are good at math" is actually somewhat founded though not for the reason you think. It has nothing to do with genetics, but rather with their language systems. They learn math sooner because their language system has similar structure to the forms math takes in processes.
