Asians are just superior in mathematical reasoning ability. Now why this translates into a complete inability to drive is another debate entirely.

For some reason, the Jewish dominance in the sciences seems to have gone away. It started to disappear in the 70s. Not sure why. Guess they assimilated into the main stream culture.

Damn, they were ushered out of basketball in the 1940s, and now they're getting ushered out of the sciences? What fields are left for Jews to stereotypically dominate???

Plus the smart kids in these other countries test and get into great academic programs. In the USA, we leave the smart kids in the regular classrooms where they are bored. Only a few get to go to magnets.

Then, whenever someone complains about how their kid should be challenged more in school, this poster brings out the old snowflake analogy to suggest that everyone is average and should go in the same classroom.

Smart kids in the US go into business/law.

More $$$

Hotter chicks (both in the class and that you're able to pull)

Less work

So why the fuck would a smart American-born Caucasian want to enter the STEM arena?
