Good job team USA!!!!
Good job team USA!!!!
...
The names look like the result of legal immigration to me.
Any of these kid's parents NOT born in Asia?
"The 2018 U.S. International Mathematical Olympiad team is: Adam Ardeishar, Andrew Gu, Vincent Huang, James Lin, Michael Ren, and Mihir Singhal. Gu, Huang, and Lin are returning team members from 2017 and Lin earned a perfect score."
What NO John Smith what the HELL happened to Caucasian kids on this math team!! We NEED to get our education system back on track!!!
Winning!
And seriously, who cares what their background is. If they’re Americans, they’re Americans.
LOL. uh, notice anything?
“Adam Ardeishar, Andrew Gu, Vincent Huang, James Lin, Michael Ren, and Mihir Singhal. Gu, Huang, and Lin”

Note there is no one in the line of Keyshawn, Latoya or Darrellius in that team (cough). GO USA!
My boys compete at elementary local state and national, placing in each. It is true that 90% of their competitors come from a non-American and non-European origins, most are probably first generation from India and China. It is a sad testament to our countrys approach to education and study habits. Competition is tough, requires more than common core math, and requires practice.
But, but, but, I thought our schools were the worst of the Western World (if you hear the Democrats talk about it).
Not too shabby. Congrats kids!
BTW, looks like a nice diverse group of Americans.
Proud of our (legal) melting pot!
And where are the girls - don’t tell me Larry Summers was right, and males really are better than females at mathematical reasoning.....
Racist! Based om merit not affirmative diversity.
We have had two grand kids in Math Olympics and winning top math honors through middle school.
The Grand Daughter irrelevantly referred to herself and a young former Russian girls as the female honkies of the math team.
Her younger brother and one other American honky shared the spotlight with Indians from India, Chinese and SE Asians, all males.
The type of immigrants Trump likes. I hope he invites them to the White House.
Obviously the beneficiaries of white privilege.
Certainly beats winning the soccer World Cup...
The girl is not on the team, I think. There were 6 competitors and six males (they all look male to me) and six male names. Actually I don’t know what to think of the girl being there.
This is clearly yet another example of White Privilege.
As a Harvard alum, I want to point out these are precisely the kind of kind of students Harvard’s admissions system is limits in the name of “diversity.”
A group representing Asian applicants to Harvard has filed a Federal law suit against Harvard charging that their admission system discriminates illegally.
This a case that bears close watching by those who wish for a colorblind system.
Not one Smith, Jones, Johnson or McIntosh among them.............LOL!
