I thought it was pretty sweet that the Asian demographic had the most positive impact correlation effect or what ever the correct statistical terminology may be on libraries. When i was in middle school and elementary school i would go to the library on a weekly basis and check out a lot of books and just go through all of them. And i think my family conforms pretty well to the typical science oriented oriental family that values education and excellence above almost everything else so i can easily see how this happened. On the other hand i remember the African American students in my middle school in South Carolina almost striving to prove that they dont know something. I felt that alot of them thought that if they knew something about anything, that would make them geeks and nerds and completely "uncool". this almost phobia of knowledge gives an early explanation why their statistics are horribly low.
