I remember in high school my mom forcing me to join the math club, as she knew the teacher there. There were mostly Asians there. I don't think you could have paid most kids to be on that most unpopular of clubs. I stayed for as long as I had to in order to please Mom, then bounced. Other kids, if they were popular, were probably having a much more enjoyable high school experience -- a lot more black kids were in this 'popular' social group than in math club-- guess what -- completely by choice! And guess who I envied more and was denied entrance to -- yes the cream of the social crop. I guess you would like to find those Asians who just happened to like math for some nerdy reason, strip them of their jobs and give them to whomever you consider to be a minority/victim?
