I’ve always said this but Asians treat math and science like we treat playing sports.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

To add to this, the people complaining, do they know math and science, what do they do for living, I think it’s interesting to see from posters and how they want to have “productive” conversations about why black people cant do something, they wax poetic about black culture apparently being anti intellectual, dikkriding others, etc.

What’s the highest level of math and science do they know for real, what do they do for living, what grades was the getting in school?

I'd bet most of them (if not all) talking about the culture can't do or haven't done STEM themselves.

Some folks just want to thrust their dumb opinions onto others without being questioned. They are intellectually lazy and don't want to do the work in figuring out whether the opinions they hold are true or not, or the discussion is more nuanced than they'd like to believe.

Sort of like the person below:

STEM isnt a necessity, but some level of math and English is needed to excel in life. Even a B average is good. Black kids are behind BASIC mathematics, science, and English.


@Gritsngravy

Even if a black man averaged a F in school, that doesn't mean the future kids shouldn't listen to him. Maybe they should take his advice because he knows what low grades will get you.

A lot of y'all lack critical thinking skills.

They do. You dont get TIME back.

Yeah they must really hate their parents while having a figure job, 4 bedroom house, and a Range Rover in the driveway

Not everyone is a materialistic OG clout demon

Who wants to work 60+ hours a week for over 30 years?

Who says im thirsty for dap?

You said an obvious statement. Most kids with high GPAs are also social.

You also made an assumption the those 4.0 gpa students have no social life or are depressed. What made you draw that conclusion?

The multiple kids that are killing themselves or taking a variety of anxiety meds at Bay Area schools out here. Having gone to Stanford and Wharton and socialized with people who admitted to not having friends in high school or doing typical HS social things. And we’re talking about Asians in particular in this thread, many of whom admit to being focused on studies and a curated set of extracurriculars that will look good on their application, and being under a ton of stress from their parents.

But I’ll be happy to see data that shows these kids are social. Or did you attend Ivy League schools with them to get anecdotal data about many of their upbringings too?

And what about all the kids that are now adults making high 6 figures living in million dollar homes? Just because you see it doesn't make it a true statement. Again you're making poor assumptions.

Do you have kids? If your daughter had a 4.0 GPA does that automatically mean she'll be socially inept and depressed?


You can do both Sherlock. The best students have good grades and are socialized.

The poor already has to work 60 hours a week for over 30 years .


Might as well do it for the 6 figure salary and comfortable life.

NGL if I had taskmasters for parents, I'll put them in a home and forget about them when it's time. If the first 25 years of my life is stress, hardwork and no fun, I'm gonna be extremely selfish and JBO the rest of it.

No one said you couldn’t, and like I said, plenty of those people are living unfulfilling lives making six figures. I work alongside them making that myself.

lol @ the person making assumptions being the person who’s in the company of these people as a peer as opposed to someone from the outside looking in

Those professions have a high turnover rate and take MONTHS for an interview process. There is a balance that you forgot that most humans desire.

Some people rather take a bachelor's over the PhDs that eat up the best years of your life.

Ah, another thread where people think every Asian person in the world is a rocket scientist, astrophysicist, mathematician and possesses the discipline of a monk.

Y’all really don’t realize just how many broke and uneducated Asians and “others” are in America (and all over the world), despite the fact that you see them everyday. They just have the benefit of c00ns pushing cherry-picked propaganda that’s thrown in their face.

If the media only promoted the extremely successful black people who live in PG County or another successful black enclave, then our perception would be different too.

Instead, we have self hating c00ns who fill up these kinds of threads denigrating their own people because they dare to play sports.

Newsflash, the average CEO and C-suite guy played competitive sports at some level.“But but but the culture!”

Some people resort to MURDER if you tell them to study to the point of mental abuse

Somw parents type to make your kids work 12 hour days in books and make them skip meals and socialization time.

Ok let's meet half way, because clearly y'all dont understand what's going on.

How about black kids aim for a 3.3 gpa and socialize instead of being at the bottom of society? Would that be a good start?

You and others trying to telling black kids to act like how asians and other immigrants do, something you and others didn’t do themselves

You and others don’t really know shyt about education, y’all have no first hand information about what this education shyt really means, mfs ain’t do no real math or science in they life but got advice for kids and got opinions about how bad black culture is?

Your go to response is black culture is bad and black people are anti intellectual

And you of all posters to be talking like this is crazy, if kids followed yo advise and your life they would all lose, ain’t you the same person that wanted to become an engineer at 40 something but you couldn’t do that now all of a sudden stem ain’t a necessity?

You saying goofy shyt like this and you got advice for kids about education?

 

[BlackJesus]

Black folks create generational wealth from sports while they be on suicide watch for getting a A-

That is an extreme minority. The majority of them are getting paid in tech or medicine in the US

 

[Gritsngravy]

Hold on this damn goofy just said stem ain’t a necessity
STEM
Science, Technology, Engineering, MATHEMATICS
Man if I was a mod you would be bushed for that post
