I like figure 1. It would be interesting to see SED and non-SED by ethnic group. Too bad that is not possible for parent education to show how well Black children with educated parents do.

Toishanese is a dialect (or accent) of Cantonese. Toishan (or Tai Shan) is a "county" in GuangDong (where people speak Cantonese). Most of the Chinese that first arrived in California were from Toishan or around that area; this is why we have many Toishanese in SF. Generally Toishanese speakers can understand Cantonese. (I came from a place close to Toishan which speak a similar accent but I quickly learned Cantonese upon arriving here.)
