So much "positive" racism, it must suck for a normal asian to live up to stereotypes like these.

It is too stressful, but walking the road is the only way we can survive.
We must change because the world won't.
It is pretty much the same for everyone around the world, we are harder-working/smarter because we must.
If we aren't we will starve or at the least never have a family.
White people just don't know how good they get it. lol

Here's a better one. Explain why Koreans own not just EU and NA, but other Asian countries as well? Nobody is in the same tier as Korea, the rest of the world is about 2-3 tiers below them on average. Code A and B Koreans can win tournaments with the most stacked of foreign competition.
Furthermore, even if you exclude Korea many would probably argue that Sweden is the best foreign country at sc2 and EU by far the best region. This is even with China being on the rise in 2013. If Asians are innately better at the game, why is this? Why are most of the top foreigners usually from EU?
Because it has little to nothing to do with nature and more to do with culture (environment).

Well the only logical conclusion here is that Koreans are smart-ass superhumans and we should crawl at their feet.
Oh, wait...

*Hopefully* he's being sarcastic.
It has everything to do with culture and environment, and nothing to do with Asian genetics. The idiot with the baseless story about 7 Asians skipping class and getting the best grades is either delusional or trolling.
Korea is dominating because the culture readily supports full-time SC2 gaming. End of story.

He's not. He's been trolling ever since the WCS global finals LR thread, maybe even before. I'm surprised so many people took the bait on this thread.

It's utterly ridiculous to think that Asians are naturally smarter. However, in many Asian cultures, there's tendency toward working/practicing/studying hard, and that's generally why the Asians-are-naturally-smart stereotype exists. Even though it's a positive stereotype, it's still offensive because it undermines the hard work that a lot of Asians put into whatever they're trying to accomplish, when they're just written off as "naturally gifted".

As an Asian I really resent comments like this. Also you could be more specific with your positive racism. Instead of saying Asians you could say northeast Asians because Asia is a lot bigger than the 3 countries that you mentioned
