why are asians so smart ???? Options

[Mr. Slowjamz]

hmmm why are asians so smart ???? !

is it just or me or why do i always seem to believe that im smarter then a 23 yr old ?

i just swam in my pool late at night with our rent holders and a couple of his peeps amd gf downstairs ....and we`ve ended up talking about the lamest conversations ever ...even me & my boyz talk a bit something more in depth ....but its cool though i guess .....and swimming in the middle of the night around 2-4 am was FUN

[*salcha4u*]

Stereotype!!!!11111 JOIN CHINESE CLUB...because we're smarter.

[lovescream]

[Mr. Slowjamz]

Stereotype!!!!11111 JOIN CHINESE CLUB...because we're smarter.

but im not chinese though

[*RiC3xBoy*]

We aren't. Typically, asian parents push their kids harder because they know since they are a minority, they must be always a step ahead. But, as generations grow and grow, the less fob, the more "average" the grades. Of course by saying this, I am further sterotyping so ill just end it with the, "No we aren't."


Btw, Im a good driver.

haha.

but they're prettier than asian.


asian are strange.

[*Weird addiction*]

Asians are smart? HAHAHAHA. I don't think so.

[fagget]

Even though that comment degrades myself, but I found humor in it.
No sarcasm.

[pinacoolada]

parents push you hard..
they even babble about being in whatever country they were in and having to walk a few miles to get to school..
I know that it's a stereotype but it's true. My mom does it all the time.

[*Weird addiction*]

Even though that comment degrades myself, but I found humor in it.
No sarcasm.

If you were talking about my comment, I was only being sarcastic. Although, the Asians I know aren't THAT intelligent. I know 3 Asians, 2 suck, the other 1 is ok.

[fagget]

Sarcastic or not. I found it funny.

[Jeng]

im not that smart and im chinese

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

We're not smart.
Everyone else is just a little dumber.

[*Programmer*]

^that's a true statement.

Well, duh, I'm azn!11one!

Someone make sure I don't do that again.

[Saeglopur]

Asians are smart cause they invented the abacus. Duh! Everyone knows that.

Just kidding. Why are people, in general, smart? And what makes someone smart anyway?

[Ington]

Asians are naturally normal like everyone else.
Their parents push them harder, as many of them are new immigrants and want their kids to be well off in life. The newer the immigrants, the smarter they want their children to be.

However.

There are some really stupid asian kids too. I have yet to see a median between the two. I've seen very smart asians, and very stupid asians.

[smoke]

I've never met a smart Asian in real life, haha. However, you guys seem pretty high on the intellectual scale. Well, most of you any ways, haha.

stereotypes would be okay in this forum i think, considering we're talking about a stereotype?

its true about the parents that push. i'm filipino and my parents are super hard on my grades. i don't really get punished for getting bad ones though. i just don't get anything if i get good ones. it's expected from me.

i.e. my friends get money if they do well in school. anywhere from $20 to $100 per A on the report card. i get a good job! from my mom and my dad doesn't even say anything. granted, many of them never do get the A, but its the principle of it.

[kimmytree]

Why are Americans so stupid?



The world may never know.

Well, education wise, Americans are behind. Alot of other countries think we are... but maybe thats because of our wonderful president. [/sarcasm]

I've never personally known an Asian. Well, I know tons of Indians, and they're all smart. They all claim they'd DIE if they didnt make straight A's, and get certain scores on their SAT's.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

if you go back to asia, the kids there are a lot smarter/hard working in school than the american kids here. my goodness, korean and chinese schools are insane. i'm not 100% why, but asians pretty much value education a lot more.

[kimmytree]

I think i'd die if it was the same way here.

I love how regardless of the topic, people like you can match anything to being the president's fault. There are many factors affecting the American education, such as the will to learn, television, the internet, and many other things. I doubt the president is at blame for this too.

I'm going to start a fun fad and blame everything on global warming. Its not like its different from anything else we do.

[kimmytree]

I'm not associating the president with our educational problems, at all.

I was just stating the fact that most countries think of him / us as being idiots.

[jue]

Asian parents just push harder and expect more then alot of other parents. But, not all asians are smart. I mean I'm chinese myself, but during 8th grade when i took math A, I was like seriously the stupidest in my whole class. I got like 60's and 50's and 70's on all my tests and quizzes. I even failed my first marking period.

[hunterxhollywood]

I heard Japanese people really put a lot of effort into whatever they do.

[slut]

ok...if you dont know, asian's are not naturally smart, they work hard for it. they aren't lazy like the other races and asians in america are probably smart because their parents force them to study because the parents probably had harsh childhoods growing up in some country in asian living in the ghettos and they would take every advantage to give their children better lives. other than that, when asian babies are born, doctors insert some kind of drugs in the baby's brain, some kind of brain steroids. yayz

yea but asianstupid are still smarter then whitestpid (sarcasm)

But what if the asian's a twinkie?

[Simba]

Ha ha. Interesting topic here.

Though, Asian parents do indeed push there kids hard. Like 80% of the Honors classes in my school are made up of Asians.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

I heard Japanese people really put a lot of effort into whatever they do.

Yes they do, and if they fail at school. Well, lets just say the suicide rate in Japan during late April is pretty high.

Wow, while here I don't give a rat's ass about my grades, people in Japan are commiting suicide for failing.

Well, Asian parents tend to value education more than other races do. In my parent's opinion, it's the only way to make a life "successful".

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Actually, if they dont get into a good university, then they suicide. I worded it poorly before.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i found this interesting .

Hu Jintao`s(Prime Minister) 8 Dos and Don`ts for the citizens of socialist China :

1. Love the motherland, do not harm it
2. Serve, don’t disserve the people
3. Uphold science, don’t be ignorant and unenlightened
4. Work hard, don’t be lazy
5. Be united and help each other, don’t benefit at the expense of others
6. Be honest, not profit-mongering
7. Be disciplined and law-abiding, not chaotic and lawless
8. Know plain living and hard struggle, do not wallow in luxuries.

In Chinese, each sentence is phrased as "Regard ... as an honor; regard ... as a shame".

i believe these codes are good, nothing wrong to be afraid of china
hmm this makes me want to live in commi china now

*looks at report card*

Umm.. Smart? Riiiight.

[*This Confession*]

I just think were pushed more..My grandma is japanese and my dad is of course and well my dad always got straight A's although he slept in class and only took tests and still got a's 0_o but they always expect more out of you then other people..

Asians are normal just like everyone else.
Its just a matter of who wants what in life and whos going to acomplish it

[*Statistik*]

why are asians so smart?? because their parents are so strict and cares a lot about their kids' education, and they send him/her to so many summer schools, give them private subject lessons and stuff to make their children better unlike white parents who could care less about their children academic-wise .. that's why almost every asian girl in my school are smart ..

[RCcola]

this reminds me of a quote from the movie The Perfect Score:

Desmond: [trying to explain why SAT is racist] Who created the test? Rich white guys. Who scores the highest on the test?
Roy: Asian chicks. Middle class Asian chicks that watch less than one hour of television a day. They can't drive, but they can take the shit out of the SATs.

lawls.

[pedophile]

Actually, if they dont get into a good university, then they suicide. I worded it poorly before.

Ahh, that would be scary.

What the heck? Race doesnt matter. I think each race is basically equal. White parents care just as much as any other race. I think Americans are more laid back about it, but still. I go to a private school, and 95% of the kids are white. Now, that doesnt mean that parents of other races dont care about their education, but it shows that white people do.

Just like everyone else is saying, Asian parents just push their kids a heck of alot more. Not because they care more than parents of other races. But yeah, Asians do make the highest scores on the SAT's and stuff.

Eh, while the comment concerning a "non laid back" China may have been out of place and immature, it was by no means racist. Just a comparison of the governing tendencies of the USA and China.

No one really ever pushed me, yet I know about so many things, I wouldn't really say I'm booksmart though.

i prefer studying in america then in asia.
it's way more relaxed here.
but then again i'm one of those not so smart asians

[ayreezh]

hmmm i don't think asianz are smarter than everyone else...i just think we tend to work a lil bit harder coz of some reasons...lolz...like the parentz... i know some asian guys who aren't really dumb...they're just freakin too lazy to study! hahaha

Just kidding. Why are people, in general, smart? And what makes someone smart anyway?

They(the Chinese) also invented paper!

if you go back to asia, the kids there are a lot smarter/hard working in school than the american kids here. my goodness, korean and chinese schools are insane. i'm not 100% why, but asians pretty much value education a lot more.

Actually, Japan values education even more. I didn't know the one about them committing suicide if they couldn't get into a good university, but I do know that they learn very differently. A lot of times, they go to school so much because they try to memorize everything.

Which proves my point. Doing good at school doesn't mean you're smart. There are a lot of asians that do great at school, and I'll have to say that some are not smart to me. They just work hard. If I'm going to stereotype, I'm not going to say asians are the smartest, asians are the hardest working. They actually want good grades and education enough to work hard for it, and some parents are great motivation (to put it in the positive light).

Personally, I don't live with my dad, or he would push me so hard about my grades. And my mom, even though she cares if I get one or two more B's, she doesn't push me like some other parents do. I push myself, and I value it because I value knowledge. I value my future because I don't want to go to some crappy college/university and have some crappy job. It's my personality that pushes me..that I NEED to accomplish.

And I doubt a lot of asians are like that. It's a different perspective on how to judge how one is smart, but performance in school is definitely not how I judge it. If you see an asian girl that knows how to do a math problem you don't, it doesn't necessarily mean she is smarter. It means she has done the problem before, paid attention in class, and done the homework.

How I judge if she is smart is, how long it took her to figure out how the problem, or how she speaks, what vocabulary she uses. Her views on different topics and how mature she is about different views. Oh my God by the time I get to the last point, some adults are still as stupid as hell. Which is another difference between experience and actually being smart.

Not a lot of people think of hard working and being smart differently for some reason. I assume it's because people think hard working IS a trait of being smart. Well, not to me. Therefore I don't think asians are particularly smart. Everyone is different.

[KUBANO]

i think asians are smart because their normally shy and they dont really get into the "in"crowd so thefore less partys and more time to study

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Of course you don't; you crashed it.

No I didn't.

Well I'd hope you don't drive it after that accident, lol.

What accident?

[koreansaga510]

A lot of asians i know are dumb. But, if you think about it. Maybe it's because they put in the study time. I mean, how do you expect to be smart by not studying. Even the smartest people study.. that's common sense..

[koreansaga510]

^^ yes yes. wait, genetics wise or proper discipline?

[koreansaga510]

^ I agree.

[nagamesin]

I heard Japanese people really put a lot of effort into whatever they do.

Yes they do, and if they fail at school. Well, lets just say the suicide rate in Japan during late April is pretty high.

Yes we are. I am a Japanese. My parents are always asking me to study real hard, so that I could get a better life than them. So are my other friends. Because of this, the culture in my country is pushing us to always study hard and work hard. If my scores in report book were bad, and I couldn't get into my favourite university, which is Tokyo University, I will gladly commit suicide, because me and my family will bear shame of the failure.
