humanitech User ID: 6422179 United Kingdom 12/09/2011 05:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is it that every time I look up child prodigies online its a guarantee that 95% of them will be Asian. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1240798 At my school, all the most pristine students are Asian and completely emotionless. The prodigy of the music all is Asian and it is impossible to hold a conversation with him. He is too scared to talk to anybody who arent his parents coming to pick him up. Perhaps it's because you haven't researched very well my friend |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6375255 United States 12/09/2011 06:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1) theory is crap. I attended high school in a majority Asian [ethnic Chinese, Korean mostly) for 2 years (classes were 50% plus Asian) and knew many average and poor students. 2 Culture: many Chinese (and Koreans, Japanese...but not Vietnamese or Cambodian) value education, getting ahead, prestige, social status, and really push (but also spoil) their children. Genes matter, but don't down-play environment, culture,family,etc. Some subcultures and demographics in America (for example) simply don' value education, strong family, etc. |

This assumes the standard deviation of Asian IQ is the same or greater than of White IQ. Also, they tend to have a home environment that encourages / forces them to work hard. It seems that the majority of adult geniuses are white, though. Chinese had a lot of inventions "first" thousands of years ago, but in the past few hundred years it's been almost all by whites. On the other hand, China seems to be building up a creative capability now. |

Dont you fell its a little cruel to pick on different nationalities when they try hard to suceed nad be known by the world for the thing they accomplished unlike other people who wants to be prodigies but does not try...... |
