For past decade or so, in International Physics Olympiad(IPhO), Maths Olympiad (IMO) and Chemistry olympiad (IChO), east asian have completely dominated the STEM subjects at entry/school level. East Europeans and South Asian (rather Indians) are a distance second and third. It is not restricted to just ONE country. It is among ALL the countries across USA, Europe, South Africa and Oceania.

The situation is so bad that there was only one English/German ancestory (West/North European) holding a gold medal across ALL the disciplines and nations in combined IPhO, IMO and IChO individual rankings. Even Indians from India (and not US) and Vietnamese from Vietnam have consistently outperformed their Anglo Saxon counterparts. This year, India bagging all gold medals in IChO and IPhO and very compelling performance with two gold medals in IMO.

Perhaps, it is now the time for collective Anglo Saxons to pay heed to Vivek Ramaswamy's infamous tweet from Dec 2024.

Wait for it, these people will migrate to Europe or NA.
The best talent in China and Japan and South Korea is no longer going to US/EU now. Give it a decade or two, best of Indians will stop going to US too.
