[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the boomer white American guys in maths, stats, econ and physics are being replaced by Indians, Chinese, Russian and Eastern Europeans, both male and female.  Reason:  your special snowflake does not have to do anything that is difficult.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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?
