The entire article is pretty good, but the part posted expresses what is wrong about this.

Asians are good at math? Why dressing up racism as a compliment just doesn’t add up

Debunking the myth
As with many racial stereotypes, people are genuinely curious whether the “Asians are good at math” narrative could be true. There are videos on YouTube with several million views asking that question.

Don’t test scores prove the narrative? In fact, they don’t. On international exams, it’s true that Asian countries are among the top performers in math. But it’s also true that other Asian nations rank 38th, 46th, 59th and 63rd. Interestingly, those top performers also lead in reading – but there isn’t a narrative that “Asians are good at literature.”

Domestically, it’s the same story. Research shows considerable variation in mathematical performance among different Asian ethnic groups in the U.S. If all Asian people were innately gifted in math, we shouldn’t see this kind of variation.

A better explanation has to do with education policy and federal immigration laws. Countries that invest in teacher education and high-quality curriculum do better on international tests. In the U.S., the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act gave preference to STEM professionals from Asia. That policy affected my own parents, who were able to immigrate to the U.S. under that law, not because South Asian people are naturally good doctors.

We don't tip as a culture in the UK including all races, and you called blacks lousy tippers.

How is that not racist?.

I presented some of the typical stereotypes of two races that are often tossed around. I didn’t make them up or say I agreed. It was an example of how people can accept positive traits, be it cultural, behavioral or physical, but won’t be very receptive to negative ones, that was my point.

As a race, no one is superior physically or intellectually.

As an asian going through the american public school system, I felt like I was in the special olympics.

I was just smarter than everyone. Until I met other asians, then I had some academic competition.

It must be what black people feel like in athletics.

Just being real lol

It felt like.. I was a level 100 rpg character, and everyone else was just in the starting area, dying to **** and pigs.

I got a straight 4.0 GPA throughout my entire academic run without even trying, at all. While some people were struggling to get a C. Some people failed.

Nothing whatsoever even remotely challenged me academically until I got to college, and I still maintained a 3.8. If I put the effort and time I was capable of, I could have gotten a straight A university run, but ... I was a little distracted with ass and drugs lol....

Yeah, cheers we know this, this isn't the point.

The point is why cant we celebrate the different way we're built genetically?.

Dude, you have idea at all how many want to argue/debate black dominance in sports? Go over to Caste Football and run.....blacks are simply more physically gifted...and watch what happens.

And, be cool guy, got it amigo?

You really think all races are equal physically, really?

Calculus and trigonometry were hilarious. The other kids were dropping like flies, they just couldn't get it. I was sitting there like, dude you just gotta memorize and follow the rules and formulas.

So many people were failing in high school that the teachers had to go extra slow which meant it was even easier for me lol

They had to drill formulas and principles that I already memorize and understood, over and over, when I was already ready to go to the next formulas. What took me 1 hour to learn, they had to drill over and over for weeks.

For the most part. Groups that excel in certain sports often come from poverty, so they work hard to perfect their skills and strengthen their bodies, sports is their ticket out. Even if we set aside poverty, if you just dedicate yourself to your profession you’ll excel. There is no one race considered to be the best in boxing. While certain races may excel at certain sports; blacks in sprinting and basketball, whites in swimming and hockey, that doesn’t mean there aren’t great athletes who transcend the racial lines and perform at the top of other sports. It’s about training, conditioning, discipline, heart, and environment to a lesser extent.

I felt the same way. Math was always easy for me. It actually made me more interested in other subjects because it didn't seem like a challenge. What I always appreciated was getting to a damn answer instead of the could be this, could be that.

Now I feel like I'm terrible at math.

What if it's the truth? Not saying it is but if it's true is it racist still?

Come on people don't welcome being pigeon holed it's not natural. It's a fake construct designed to keep people under the thumb of the ruling classes.
