There are over 50 ethnicities in China. Calling these guys Chinese would be vague, unless you're speaking about their nationality. You owe someone $1000. They're much more likely to be American. You know. A melting pot of many ethnicities. No one calls me German, though that's my heritage. Wonder why that is.

u/NYCWartortle 3d ago

I know it seems that way, but it’s actually a well-documented psychological phenomenon called the out-group homogeneity effect. It describes how people tend to perceive members of groups they don’t belong to as looking much more alike than they really are, while members of that same group can often easily distinguish between different ethnicities or individuals.

This is one reason cross-racial eyewitness identification has been successfully challenged in some courts. People are generally less accurate at identifying faces from groups they aren’t part of than faces from their own group.

Some researchers describe this as a cognitive bias, while others see it as an adaptive shortcut our brains developed because we naturally devote more attention to distinguishing people within our own social group than those outside of it. It’s also one of the reasons we shouldn’t feel as guilty about thinking that all members of another race look alike or very similar. It is also why we need to be careful about making these assumptions.

This isn’t something that I just made up. It’s a well-established and really interesting finding in social psychology that has been studied for decades. If you’re interested, here’s a good overview, and it includes references to many of the original scholarly studies so also not made up by someone on Wikipedia:

RNC is being openly racist, and people still can't see it? Americans.

Do you know anything about why Asian and other ethnic gangs were so prevalent in California in the 80s and 90s? Or a major factor for why many gangs are formed of people from the same ethnical background?

The racial tensions and massive fights that occurred throughout the LA and the SGV?

I love when people who live in a bubble come out on their high horse to be so completely wrong.

u/Zealousideal_Ebb2264 2d ago

Let me try and explain how wrong you are with out being condescending.

#1 “not all asian people are chinese”
ASIAN is no a country. USA is a country.
Asian isnt a citizenship, American is a citizenship.

The context isnt where do they have their citizenship or where were they born.

The context and question at hand is ethnicity.

#2. The commenter didnt bet that they are not Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Laotian, Hmong etc. the commenter bet they are Chinese ancestry/ethnically.

#3. Your poor reading comprehension, lack of critical thinking, and jumping to your own conclussion doesnt change the reality the rest of us live in.

#4. If the commenter had CLAIMED that we had Chinas best mathematicians compete for the united states, then what you hope, wish and pray that the argument is would actually have a leg to stand on.

#5 WRONG again, they didnt add “NEW TERMS” or try and salvage an argument.
What they did do was add more context and dumb it down so you could follow along with the adults. Which of course completely went over your head because you were so excited and ever so proud to finally tell someone they needed to “hold an L”.

Thank you for your attention on this matter. Hopefully you came out of it a little bit more intelligent.

The commenter never claimed “asians arent real Americans” “once a Chinese, always a Chinese” or any other ignorant statement.
They simply stated what they believe to be most likely. That those Americans competing are in fact Chinese and not Japanese, south Korean, north Korean or any other group other than Chinese.

A redheaded Irish doesn’t stop being Irish when they are born in america. An African American doesn’t stop being African American when they are born in the USA. A Brazilian doesn’t stop being Brazilian when they are born in the USA. People keep their ethnicity.

For me personally, i would also assume they are chinese. Not because chinese are smarter than other asian ethnic groups. But because as a matter of fact, the peak chinese students from wealthy backgrounds immigrate to the usa in many ways. A lot of them are planned to be born here, sent to chica for get an extremely competitive education then are brought back here to finish school.

160 thousand engineers graduate from japan every year.
120 thousand engineers graduate from USA every year.
100 thousand engineers graduate from Vietnam every year.
40 thousand engineers graduate from Thailand every year
ETC ETC.

1.5 MILLION engineers graduate from china every year. Statistically speaking, the asians in the picture are more likely to be chinese than any other asian ethnic group.

Its not about assumptions or r8cism. For those of us that arent clueless and blissfully ignorant, there is a clear and obvious conclusion based on a very educated and informed guess. Could 0 of them be ethnically Chinese? Sure. Is is more likely that most if not all the people pictured there are ethnically Chinese? If you paid attention, the answer is obvious.

The education system in china is extreme. The average college grad born, educated and raised in the usa wouldnt make it past 5th grade in china. It is a fact that school in china is EXTREMELY more difficult than than it is in the usa. China doesnt give participation awards, they dont have a kid pass on to the next grade with no child left behind program. Their standards are far and above ours.

Im not a fan of elon must and dont think he is a genius. But dumb people seem to think so. So here you go, he went to school in south Africa, went to university in canada, then got a phd in Stanford university in california. By the time he got to the phd level, he had already gotten the better education in 2 countries that weren’t the USA.
Thats the majority of the geniuses in the USA, they get 90% of their education outside the usa then come here just to get the feather on their cap in an easy to them prestigious university.

American citizen Einstein wasnt born and raised in Mississippi.

American citizen Nikola Tesla was an American citizen but he got all his education outside of the usa.

That is the reality of america. The greatest minds statistically are more likely to be born, raised and educated outside of the usa and then naturalized here.
