yes you are a bit
china has a different cultural climate where the parents would usually work very hard to save up for their kids education.
they really believe through good education would change their social class (lots of stories of extremely struggling parents still work extra shifts to send their kids to after school math camps etc) it is a good investment for those art students who came to states then return and utilize their studies and experiences. anyway just saying you should maybe go to open studio/meet these asian students before quickly assuming they are just from high-economic backgrounds.
