1.The unusual thing about the racial or class composition of Cupertino, California is that it is almost entirely comprised of the upper-middle or upper class, and people from almost entirely the white and Asian community (Jimenez & Horowitz). 2.Unusual class or class composition also affected the academic success and hierarchies in schools as the Asian pupils are virtually always on "top," while white students are almost always on "bottom," with most professors rating Asian students as superior and white students as "suffering" from the contrast, although they still do better than most students around the country (Jimenez & Horowitz).
