Because white men are glorified in Hollywood, and they go out of their way to desexualize Asian men in media.

Google first male sex icon, and look at all the backlash he got. White Hollywood got real scared real fast when an Asian man started getting attention.

Yeah but a little overrated

Which works?

Inception
Season 2 of Westworld

I think at their best, their work really is something special. However, at times, stuff is just complicated for the sake of being complicated.

So good would be like Interstellar or Westworld season1. The story was tidy, and the complexity added to the story.

Bad would be like inception or Westworld 2 where they just make up stuff for twists or try to hard to mind blow us.

Starfire is fine black. Gammorra is black. they made her skin green. why didn't they make Starfire's skin orange? that's all I asked for. I don't care what skin color the actress has as long as the character is orange.

Nah I bought a cheap music player once and the headphones kept slipping out when I was running. I didn't want to bother with getting a more expensive one because I don't want to get sweat all over it.

America has a history of putting a premium on the value of freedom over just punishment, that why theres the saying better to let a guilty man walk free than an innocent man in prison.

But the cost of legal defense has undoubtedly caused innocent men to land in prison

But are we sure the solution is to have government appointed lawyers for all cases?As others have brought up, surely it can lead to issues of its own, theres opportunity costs for every decision. What country do you know off that has mandatory government appointed lawyers and how fair is their judicial system?

What would you suggest?

But as I said before, I think you are too caught up in the data, when my complaint was about the test used to get that data.

If you said one kid was really good at counting, and that means he's going to be great at math, it's questionable. I personally always hated counting and always found ways around it whenever I could as a kid. I either made stacks of a set number, then count the stacks or some other bs. But at the same time, I was two years ahead of everyone in math and always got As. I don't think it would've been fair to say I would be bad at math because I found the act of counting tiresome.

What does a distribution of grades look if they are bunched up around 90%?

Probably normalish just like any other %. The main thing is that the distribution would be narrow.

If you are taking an easy course, almost everyone is going to get the same score.

And what would that score be?

In a class? 90% In this example, no idea. How do you measure counting ability and ability to separate dots? Only thing you can do is compare to others in the study.

But I'll provide another example. You have two classes with people of all mathematical backgrounds. Make one class take a test on basic addition and subtraction. Make another take a test on Calculus 3, keeping in mine that there are people in both classes that haven't taken calculus.

I gurantee you the stars in the calculus test will not outshine the ones in the simple math test. Some may even get worse scores cause they made careless errors in their math.

The standard deviation in comparison to the mean doesn't give you the information you seek, and certainly wouldn't be more informative than just looking at the distributions.

Why does it not? If there's a test, and the average is 70, and everyone scores within 5 points if that it doesn't mean much. Contrast that to an average of 70 but people fluctuate like 20 points. That's a test where you can differentiate high and low performers.

The plot distribution gives you an overall look at the data which I generally like, but I want to pinpoint something.

Simple version: the variance around the mean can be caused by many things. Essentially, this is usually a metric used for signal quality, and in fact you want the variance to be small in relation to the mean. But it's kinda nonsensical here.

There's no simple answer to what you're looking for, other than there's a clear age effect across most of these measures, meaning that the variance is indeed segregating individuals on the basis of certain factors, just not gender. If you are looking for an effect where the task is too easy or too hard, pushing everyone down or up to the same performance, this is called a floor or a ceiling effect, and it is easily observable on the basis of the distribution being skewed against a boundary. You can see this in a couple of their measures, but not most, and in those that it does, the ceiling tends to be driven by age, where the task is too easy for older kids.

The point I'm trying to make is that harder tests do a better job at differentiating ability. If you are taking an easy course, almost everyone is going to get the same score. The differentiator will be very silly things. In this example, it comes down to how many powers of ten the kid knows or if the kid got nervous while counting and messed up.

Not sure of how good a measure of ability that is.

I've said I already seen the plots and the deviation looks small there. I want to see what the actual numbers are per test.

And you expect that the standard deviation will be a better descriptor than just looking at the distribution? Lol.

In what way does the variance look 'small'? In comparison to what?

We know they aren't at ceiling. We know they aren't performing the same (age predicts). In many of these measures, they are getting scores the constitute a large proportion of the scale.

Idk what you mean by "variance seems small".

The deviation looks low in comparison to the size of the mean. That's why I am curious about what the actual number is so I can get a more precise feel for what it is.

I'm having trouble finding the actual standard deviation for each data set, but based on the errors and gray areas on the graphs, the variance is low so the tests don't really discriminate between children.

In comparison to what, exactly?

In only a couple plots does a ceiling problem even rear its head a little, and even within those analyses it doesn't seem like an issue since if you mentally split the data prior to when kids are hitting ceiling, there are still no apparent gender differences.

One test was choose the side with more dots. Another test was count as high as you can.

And these were really young children.

For what you say to be an actual reason for the null effects, you'd see it in the data. The data would be pushing up against the upper bound (statisticese: at ceiling). The data show that these tests discriminate between children. The only one which is really questionable is the Weber fraction at older ages.

Going to have to 2nd that the level of math given at such a young age doesn't really count.

You're in academics TC. Have you not noticed the further and further you go, the less that people are able to cut it?

I remember in 2nd grade, like a third of us were considered gifted. Then middle school rolled around and a fraction of those thirds went to honors classes and many only honors in one or two. Then high school came around, then only a fraction of that fraction made it to APs. Then for me, engineering school, and you see giant differences on test scores like you never see in high school.

tl;Dr It's easy to have equal performance when the test is easy

That said, I don't think men are necessarily better. I know a lot of smart girls. A few who got perfect SATs and destroy the majority of guys. I just don't think the study really proves anything.
