While I agree that restricting access to video games and the internet is FAR from the solution, i do not think you are entirely right.
The jocks will not become members of the leader-caste, neither will the nerds, or the immigrants. I know, and being both an nerd and an immigrant was doubly hard. It's like being black and female - two strikes against you.
The truth is, without Any group to take over social control, this country will soon end up Leaderless, like Russia has, with robber barons taking all the political seats, and crime and corruption at a peak. Then, any group will have it's niche, but all of them will be in equally deep shitt.
The only solution is to reintegrate the social structure, to remove division into castes, and into locals vs foreigners, but this does not look very likely.
