[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm west Indian and this is something I've always wondered. Immigrants from Africa, Middle Eastern, Asian push college especially STEM for their children.

When it comes to women studying stem it's mainly the women from countries that dont have much opportunities for women. Think arab, african, middle east, indian except latin america.

There was even a study showing that the less opportunities a girl has the more she is likely to study STEM except for Latin American women. I would like to know the history of education in Latin American nations to understand this. Even Chile which is a homogenous nation and is nowhere near the top at education.

My friend is a professor and he told me that Latin American parents tend to push labour but college will always be seen a superior in this nation.

I've wondered about this.[/quote]

I’m Hispanic and do not understand your diatribe.

One female cousin is a physician and another a microbiologist. My aunt a pharmacist. Another aunt was a nurse. My cousin’s daughter is pursuing a graduate physics degree from a top university.

No, we didn’t all go into sciences. There are a few educators and a few who went into policy / law. All female.

There are plenty of women who go into scientific fields in Latin America. Your example - Chile - actually had a female president (before the U.S. of course) who was a physician.

Exceptions do not make the rule. African Americans and Hispanics are extremely under representatives
I’m the stem. Please stop playing willfully obtuse and getting offended by facts. I say this as someone who is African American.

I really have pondered about this topic, sincerely.[/quote]
