[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Racial stereotypes per usual on DCUM…

Uh, Ajay Bhatt?
Peter Tsai?
Steven Shih Chen?
Flossie Wong?

Those are just a few that come to mind.  Middle-aged white lady here.[/quote]

Sorry, but each of those people were western educated.[/quote]

BTW I was not saying that people with Asian genetics are not creative but rather that the vastly different cultures have lead to different strengths. [/quote]

The “Asian culture” is to drill, drill, drill, practice, practice, practice, to the exclusion of everything else. It’s how your children excel in math and then don’t actually produce anything worthwhile with the knowledge.  Granted it’s just anectdata, but every “Asian genius” I’ve ever known has struggled mightily to apply their “genius” to real life problems. And plenty of TJ grads who excelled on the entrance criteria and then floundered in their actual careers when strategy and creativity and dealing with gray areas became important. Equity requires us to take a hard look at our criteria when it tends to result in one group dominating to the exclusion of others. We’re not going to solve the world’s problems by having a bunch of adults whose skills and talents are limited to performing well in areas susceptible to improvement through constant drilling.

...and don't produce anything worthwhile with the knowledge?

What world are you living in if not this one where Asians dominate the upper ranks of tech companies, engineering of all types, medicine, and increasingly even popular culture.  (Mario, Pokemon, K-pop, manga, TikTok...)
