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

[Ozymandeas]

They out here doing competitions, decathlons, and stay away training camps Summer camp for Math is crazy If black folk can ever get in the mindset to treat academics like this, we’d be just as good.

My school had math camp and other programs and the school was at least 50% black. We also had one of the top 4A football teams in the state during my time.



You school must have been hot garbage juice.

Edit: we also had Pawgs!

Facts. Can't even have a productive conversation about real issues with most of our people.


Seems like we don't want to face reality, just want to hear praise and optimism.

This is the most “the coli” comment I’ve seen so far this month down to the insult at the end. You know your experience is the exception to the rule but you couldn’t wait to fly in with this. We (culturally) value sports because we’ve excelled at it. There is nothing wrong with it. I embrace it if you’re special but the reality is: being at the top 1% of the 1% are incredible odds.

Blacks in Stem on the hand is not as common but the odds are better (to actually achieve and make a decent living).

Representation is real. If we don’t see people like us doing it, it’s hard to imagine it

Facts.


Someone told me that White people enroll their kids in sports to networking, learning how to work with different cultures and characters. And to grew their competitive spirit. All to take into business.


I know so many of our people banking on their kids going pro. It's the Pros or failure.
