I know quite a few serbia and irish heritage people though their parents don't put too much emphasis on their studies.

Guess it depends on the family and their expectations, not everyone is the same

I'm Asian, I did Ext. 2 English.

Background doesn't affect subject choices at all. It's just that certain subject combinations have become linked with certain backgrounds.

ALOT of Asians who end up doing Chemistry and Physics in Senior Years have most likely been influenced by the high scaling around the subs, the 'delusional' need to do them, fitting in with other Asians, think that they actually 'like' the chem and phys (I think if you genuinely like those subs then you don't even need to go tutor unless you're lazy [okay, I'm hypocritical about this but my point still stands]), they know it's the standard subjects for Asians and Asian parents tend to loves the sciences and maths as opposed to the humanities (Economics is really the only exception to this).
Another big reason are siblings and relatives, Asian parents love to compare to relatives and others so they'll say something like 'Yeah, your cousin/brother/sister got 99 ATAR and she/he did 4 Unit Maths, Economics, Chemistry, Physics and Advanced English so you must do these subs as well'.
Also, heaps of Asians go tutoring and tuition centres emphasis the need of high scaling subjects such as 4U Maths, Chemistry and Physics.
This could be generalisation but I think some of what I said are true to an extent... I'd know of course cause' I'm Asian too ><

standard English is fairly Asian considering a lot can't speak the language.

You did Ext. 2 English because you were capable of it, however you also did MX2, Phys and Chem...
