Are White People as good as Asians at Math?
Why do Asians do so good as Math?

I think it has something to do with having increased brain capacity.

What do you think?

Have you ever seen Chinese math? Fuck that I'm part white and that shit looks insane even though I know some Kanji. Fuck that noise that's why they are good at math.

It has to do with their language.

Math is inherent to their language.

So counting is like speaking and speaking is like counting.(in a way, don't take this too literal)

Imagine if you thought the same way about math as you do about the language you use.

It's impossible to parse cultural from innate distinctions because so much of culture is taboo for the common man.

Re: Are White People as good as Asians at Math?
On average, yes. On average an Indian will kick butt at computer programming. On average a white person is more creative in approaching problem-solving. However, the best at any of the fields above might be black or Mexican. It's merely an average - not a forgone conclusion.

However, it does seem that the smarter a person is, the more he tends to lack social skills. If you get an extremely bright person who also has social skills, you really have a winner.

I don't really know if that's true. I'm Indian so technically Asian, but I know a lot of Indians who aren't so sharp at math. to me a visual thinker, Math is so easy, I think it's because I'm lefty?

I guess I am "white". I am still having problems with all this 666 11 22 33 and all that stuff I read daily, so at least I personally am no good at numbers.

NO. Everyone is a animal with a brain that tricks itself into thinking it is not a animal.


Regardless of skin color, we all... eat, shit, and breathe. So..... it doesnt matter what the fuck someone is good at.

I like this one.
if an Asian was born and bred in America and didn't learn to read Chinese, he would probably be as good as anyone else, right?

The Asian family has a stronger work ethic but if you`re asking who`s smarter, well it`s close but i would have to look and see which mind created our modern advanced math that`s so complicated, and that would have been the white man. Issac Newton invented the math of the infinitesimal, Calculus just to further his understandings of gravity and forces in motion.

So if a asian guy and white guy have to do the same job requiring the same math skill, the asian will do the job better because he speaks a different language? UHHHHH, you make no sense.

But let me guess because of the language the asian will get the job before the white does.

Never said this, But Asians can surpass the majority of whites. Just look at their progression for fuck sakes compared to the states technology wise.

e]

While theoretically that may be true, considering that there have been hundreds of white Nobel prize winners in math, science,physics and medicine and only 10 black Nobel prize winners(7 peace prizes and 3 literature) I would take that hard math you all speak of and crunch the numbers. CRUNCHING....CRUNCHING.....Ah yes here we are,the odds of a black or mexican being the premier mind in advanced mathematics today are..This is a little embarrassing folks, it seams the odds are so high we`ll need to wait for yet another form of math to be invented in order to fit the numbered odds in our modern understanding of mathematics.

NEANDERTHALS excel at math because they have a larger occipital lobe.

The J's have the most Neanderthal genes (up to 70%) of anyone, and they do superbly at math. That is why they are astronomers, astrophysicists, etc.

The Chinese are the group with the second-highest concentration of Neanderthal genes (albeit a different Neanderthal ancestor, but Neanderthal nonetheless) and they also excel at math.

BRAIN STRUCTURE and the brain's SIZE RELATIVE TO BODY MASS, not just brain size, that are indicators. That is why an African Grey Parrot, with a brain the size of a walnut, is so freaking smart.
