Thread: Racism:

    Default Racism:

    Sorry for posting this, but I'm not sure who to PM regarding this matter.

    Its not racist at all. It is a well documented fact that Chinese students outperform the rest of the world in mathematics achievement due to increased school-day length, more rigorous education, and high family pressure to achieve academic success. It has nothing to do with race.

    I was simply pointing out that despite all this, the game calculates stacked percentages incorrectly.

    Here's one of many references: http://www.nctm.org/resources/content.aspx?id=1618

    Racism, as defined by wikipedia, is "the belief that race is a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

    My post had nothing at all to do with the inherent superiority of any group of people, it had to do with cultural and institutional mechanisms in China which produce documented achievement within mathematics.

    I noticed Dyne accusing you and using F words himself..

    For what it's worth..
    I didn't see any racism in it as well and was very surprised that you were suspended for it.

    You're are racially stereotyping a group of ethnic, hence racism. Just because alot of Chinese are good with maths, does not mean all Chinese are genius at maths. Just like saying African American love fry chicken, despite you may not see that as racist, that is however is still racist.

    What onvenmit wrote is basically the same thing. You are grouping one culture into a characteristic that some of the population has. In this case the ability to speak English or the ability to understand complex mathematics.
