You know people say it's a stereotype that most Asians are good at math. Then why is it so true?

@pokestrike Yo das racist!
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 12:55:17 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt No I'm stating a fact I saw it in a artical on a magazine
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 12:56:19 UTC from web-
@pokestrike That's like saying all Irishmen are drunks, or that the Jamaicans all smoke pot, or that black people drink only the finest Kool-Aid. I know some pretty dumb asians.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 12:58:03 UTC from web -
@pokestrike Also, sorry to break it to you, but most magazines are not a great source of information.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:03:43 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt I said most not all read it correctly

@xeleanorxrigbyx Hmm how old is that chart
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:07:35 UTC from web-
@pokestrike How old is the tabloid you read that from? Because no matter how recent, it's still a tabloid.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:09:03 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt Last month
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:09:30 UTC from web-
@pokestrike What magazine is this?
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:10:31 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt Umm it's called time for kids my school gets a shipment every month
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:11:22 UTC from web-
@pokestrike What grade are you in, fifth right?
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:11:55 UTC from web-
@greenscarecrow Yes but if my school let kids skip grades I'd be in 8th grade
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:13:09 UTC from web-
@pokestrike How does one skip to 8th grade from the 5th? That doesnt make sense.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:14:05 UTC from web -
@pokestrike When I was in fifth grade the only time I could use the internet was for school. And we all had to share it, and it was like the size of a big rock. Needless to say I don't miss it.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:14:06 UTC from web-
@greenscarecrow And we had to use America OnLine.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:15:04 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt Lol, I used Kids Online. KOL MF!!11!!!!
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:15:49 UTC from web -
@dontbeamatt That, or we had to plug a landline into a box and had to hear a terrible login sound.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:15:57 UTC from web -
@dontbeamatt I'm really really smart if you explain a subject I will stick to it like tape
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:16:00 UTC from web-
@pokestrike What kind of a mineral easily expels electrons, what kind easily attracts, and what is the scientific name for Fool's Gold? No googling.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:18:10 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt Umm I said if you explain something to me plus googling isn't cheating it's studying and that's a good thing
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:20:15 UTC from web-
@pokestrike Alright, google something during a test. See how well that works out for you.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:21:12 UTC from web-
@dontbeamatt Umm I use Google to study for a subject not use it in a test oh yay I'm pretty sure the name for fools gold is pyrite
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:23:46 UTC from web-
@pokestrike Do you know what a text book is?
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:24:13 UTC from web-
@greenscarecrow Yes stop asking me questions
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:24:58 UTC from web-
@pokestrike Someone didn't get their gogo juice this morning.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:25:18 UTC from web-

Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:27:08 UTC from web -

@dontbeamatt "You know," Harry said icily, "in one of my quite fascinating Muggle books, they describe a study in which people managed to make themselves look very smart by asking questions about random facts that only they knew. Apparently the onlookers only noticed that the askers knew and the answerers didn't, and failed to adjust for the unfairness of the underlying game. So, Professor, can you tell me how many electrons are in the outermost orbital of a carbon atom?"

@pony It's alternate Harry's response to Snapes first year attempt to show Harry up in that first potions class. I prefer this version

@ceruleanspark lol So do I
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:41:00 UTC from web-
@pony The alternate story is actually a vehicle designed to teach critical thinking, logical reasoning, and proper application of the scientific method wrapped up in an easy to digest and interesting format.

@pokestrike Actually, a bit of research shows that while Hong Kong is on top, Finland, Netherlands and Liechtenstein are also in the top five. All none Asian countries.

@widget And... actually, I honestly can't find a good reason, so I'll just say something outrageous and politically incorrect.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:13:17 UTC from web -
@widget You just gave me the biggest nostalgia attack by mentioning that. Now I need to go look at the old videos on Youtube.
Tuesday, 19-Feb-13 13:16:44 UTC from web -
@widget Fox News gets called out for broadcasting lies, either direct or by ommision about once a week. Which is a shame, because the people they're lying about make enough mistakes that just reporting the truth without padding it out would be pretty damming on its own
