I know I am not as math proficient as many Asians...

**Wow I've never attributed some lack of talent in my life to a racial difference. I do remember wanting to be Japanese because during the 80s teachers (esp white ones) been infatuated with asian school superiority.

I read that Asians are better at math because of their language.

it could be culture instead...although someone will come along in a minute and tell me that the use of the word culture is racist too.

fact is some Asians do better in math...it would beb interesting to do contrast brain resonance style testing and compare but doing that would be considered racist.

you know the only person of note to get a grant to do testing of race based cog abilities in recent years?

From my experience, in SoCal, the Asian parents REALLY encourage education of their children. I mean REALLY. It's awesome to see...
