Yeah, I don't think so. Do you know how many Indians there are in Silicon Valley and in medical schools in the USA? Not to mention it seems like every year's spelling bee winner is Indian.

The only thing consistent is that an Asian country is always sitting in the top three positions.

Gosh, here we go. I'm staying out of this but not before I leave this piece of advice that nobody ever acknowledges: just because you know people who are super smart or good at something of a certain nationality, does not mean the whole country is represented by them. That being said, you're a moron if you go by these kinds of stats anyways.

You know which Indians end up in the States? India's most elite, most educated citizens, and they try to raise their children with the expectations and values that come of that. This is not a representative sample of India's population, many of whom aren't regularly challenged academically or practiced in test taking as much as citizens of some other countries.
