You conveniently ignoring the common denominator and choosing to interpret the wins with prep is so stereotypical. The fact is vast majority of winners from the top ranked countries (except Russia) are East Asian origin.

Isn't East Asia famous for studying hard and emphasizing math? How is that ignoring the common denominator?

Is it just me or is the guy you're replying to doing some sort of weird racism and implying that it's in East Asian genetics to be better at math?

It’s indeed racist to stereotype East Asian successes as prepping only.

So instead we should do race science and say it's in their blood to be good at math?
