Why are we indians so good at academics but really lack in sports and other areas?

I disagree. My best friend is an American Indian, and she gets B's and C's in school. I am American and I get straight A's. However, she's really good at singing, dancing and sports, so really it matters on the person. Try not to focus so much on the race, and rather on the individual. I'm pretty sure it has something due to genetics, though.
