Maths and Peoples

Only read this first link down to the quote I pasted beneath it:

So far as I can discover there have been only three black African IMO medalists in recent years: Chigozie Henry Aniobe of Nigeria with a bronze in each of the last four years; Puis Aje Onah of Nigeria with a bronze in 2010 and Isaac Jean Eliel Konan of Ivory Coast with a silver that same year. (Konan is rather light-skinned, possibly a mulatto.)
It’s a poor showing for a continent that has had established universities for decades.


In the Supplement note I link at the bottom you see that 288 whites were up against 120 east Asians--but this is out of total populations of 1 billion and 1.7 billion, meaning 4 times as many competitors per million whites as Asians. What would the Asian average be if they put up 4 times as many as they did? Their average would decline. And blacks made only 41 out of about 900 million, 1/6 the white ratio, and took abysmal scores. Only 1 black scored in the top 260 (getting 17 out of 42), which is barely in the top half. Israel, with only 6 million Jews to work with, scored 18th place--only 3 smallish countries beat it: Singapore and Hong Kong, which only import smart people--and Hungary, which apparently just kicks ass. The American team has gotten more and more Asian and ever less Jewish and European in the last 20 years. Part of that is likely to be laziness among the latter groups. Asians took 19 out of the top 25 spots in this year's IMO. Yet 10 years ago they only got about 13 of 25. And 21 years ago, 11 of 25. It used to be the East European whites who pulled most of the weight for whites, but they've declined. This kind of super-high-IQ competition shows who are capable of making contributions and who aren't--though people cognizant of some basic history and not blinded by PC propaganda already have some idea.

Also, 9 times as many males as females made it into the IMO, yet the male average easily outpaces the female average, especially at the high end--and if you only look at the top 56 males (the top ninth) versus the 56 females, the score averages would be something like 33 to 10.5--yeah, so, thanks for playing girls. Only 1 female (Dutch) scored in the top 50, with a score of 29 out of a possible 42--the lowest score that still makes the top 50 cutoff. Last year only 1 (Jap) made it into the top 55, again at the minimum cutoff of 30 out of 42. Kind of reminds me of chess. Maybe there should be a female IMO. There definitely should be a black one, since they're much weaker than the females.:
