Culture plays a role and all...I'm not sure if we are ever going to get to the point where out-groups criticizing in-groups helps all that much. Example:
Chinese Guy: You white guys can't keep up in math because your parents are too soft and think them being bad at math makes it ok for you to be as well. Not to mention your kids are disobedient to their teachers. You guys need to up your respect academics and get your kids to do more math.
White Guy: You're right -- it's a real problem with white culture that we think it is OK to be disrespectful to older people and teachers. We need it to be a bigger deal if our kids are getting C's in math too.
