Bingo!

My wife and I were spectators for a couple of days a few years back when the LPGA championship was held at Hazeltine National Golf Course near Minneapolis, MN. I still recall those willowy Asian ladies with a BMI of about zero walking nonchalantly up to the tee and--whack!--watching the ball disappear over the horizon.

My wife is Asian, so the fact that so many of the contestants were also Asian didn't surprise me in the least. It goes back to the work ethic extant in so many Asian cultures--and also among Asians in America. Those kids are brought up to excel: that the only guaranteed way to success is to work your butt off. So that is what they do. And the results are obvious.

There is a hard lesson to be learned here. What we are seeing is the inevitable result of the entitlement mentality so prevalent in America today. Yeah...these Asian kids succeed because they work their tails off--and not just in women's golf, but in education, the work place--you name it. All too often the non-Asian Americans don't.
