I found that the natives in my elementary schools generally did poorly and were troublemakers, as I got cased around a lot, and my friends got thrown over chain link fences onto the street.

I'm looking in my HS yearbook, and out of the 52 students that did not graduate out of 600 20 were other than white. Mostly, Fillipino. Thats less than half, but the amount of nationalities other than being "white" is far far less than 40%. I'd say that 10-15% of the school was soething other than white.

You can draw your own conclusions from that.

One explanation might be that these people d not speak english as well as peple who were born here, and therefore have a tough time.

But form my own experience, It has been ethnic minorities that don't do as well as the others.

As for causing trouble, that is a little harder to tell.
