Thank you for clarifying.
If my memory recalls you live in Chile right? I wasn't aware there was a large korean population in any part, curse my ignorance. And you bring up an interesting point. It probably isn't as accurate as it seems to say that asian people are
good at math," since as you've shown more factors into it than that. I suppose it's just that, one way or another, Asian people and math seem to wind up correlating. There's also the idea of the self-fulfilling prophecy to consider.
Your final comment is a sad truth of prejudice; it takes just one idiot to destroy a whole village. Unfortunately, the most despicable members of any social group are going to get the most attention usually, and tarnish other group's perception of the whole group. Like you said, not all jews act this way, but when events like this happen with any frequency, people are bound to start blaming ethnicity.
It's a difficult issue. My original point was that logically, for people capable of overcoming the natural tendency towards ingroup favoritism, discrimination on the basis of ethnicity or any other irrelevant factor is nonsensical.
