Do caucasian American males feel they are entitled?

[superchunk]

I think its a general issue with Americans, not just whites.

You'll commonly see those of immigrant parents who are far more studious and focused than those who have at least a few generations of US born parents.

So its not "white males" who feel entitled, its Americans in general. Of course this likely affects men more than woman simply because women have to work harder to get the same evaluation as men. They have more to prove basically and less likely to be class idiots as they don't need to do that to impress the opposite sex.

This is why I'm moving my kids to a school that is always top of my state, always top 3 in nation, and always in top 10 of planet. It focuses on what non-US schools do well and pushes kids to be their best. Sure they'll have more work, but a little work never killed anyone and as I tell my kids all the time, "work hard now so you can play hard later".
