East Asians DOMINATE in STEM subjects, West Europeans completely missing

[Daiba]

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.

No surprise there. Who did you think was going the STEM subjects? white working class english or black british kids?

In China, most people know that the laissez-faire happy education has ruined the general population of the US.

You cannot become innovative when over 90% of your populace is literally illiterate.

True that.
When my parents visited us in Canada, they were really worried how much easy going my son's education is. I remember by the time I was his age I was already doing much more maths and science.

After the WWII US, the boomer population was great, since most of the scientific achievement of the post-WWII until the age of the Internet was mainly carrying by them.

The generation x was also okay to take the relay from the boomers.

The millennials start to take a big dip as they couldn't take the torch by starting to heavily rely on the high tech foreign immigrants of their generation to carry over.

The generation z starts to look even more bleak as no talent seems to be born from this generation among the white american kids.

The only rightful thing that the gen z has done is to become more worshipping to China than their predecessors.
