The Brightest Kids in America

[sportscribe]

(CNN)The top 40 finalists have been named for the Regeneron Science Talent Search, a highly prestigious US-based competition that scouts out the nation's most promising high school scientists.

Alumni of the Science Talent Search, founded in 1942, include 13 Nobel Prize winners. One of these is Leon Cooper, who won the physics prize in 1972, whose name was later borrowed by creators of "The Big Bang Theory" for their resident know-it-all Sheldon Cooper. The competition can even boast of an Oscar-winner in its midst, as Natalie Portman was a semifinalist in the 1998.
This year's finalists, whittled down from a pool of 1,800 entrants, all received $25,000 awards, and are now competing for prizes up to $250,000. The prize fund has nearly doubled this year, totaling $3.1 million.

Though all the finalists are chosen from schools in the US, it as far from US-centric. Many are striving to tackle problems of great global importance -- be it climate change, medicine, space science or computing.

Most, if not all of those kids are South Asian, East Asian or Jewish.

 

[Bonk]

Too many Asian faces here.


In another part of the world called, Great Britain, the smartest family is a black one.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Our children are being failed by their mothers. 70% out of wedlock births, and 0% of black children (looks like there may be one ambiguously "black" female) up for consideration in this contest. But straight black men are the problem in our community.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

No black faces

It takes two to tango.

Stop this blame stuff. I'm really tired of seeing that on this forum. Grown men don't blame others.

I’m positive that that one kid towards the top right only got selected because he looks exactly like Mark Zuckerberg.

There aren't any Blacks from two parent homes up there either, and I bet the # of Blacks with two parent homes exceed that of East Asians with two parent homes.
But keep blaming single mothers, that will get us somewhere.

 

[Alaafin]

relax.

Over eight decades, more than 150,000 students from U.S. high schools in all 50 states and territories have completed independent science research projects and submitted entries.

you have to apply. I'm willing to bet most kids/teachers don't even know about this.

The description doesn't match the title. And it was just some black kids a while ago that got accepted to ivy league schools.

It took the government dangling a carrot before their eyes to see black women willingly kick fathers out of the home. And for argument's sake, let's say you're correct, that black men share some of the blame. Why aren't these 70% out of wedlock single mothers instilling in their children an appreciation of science and math?
