I agree that it would make math better, but we are so used to base 10 math that implementing base 12 would confuse everybody and would create a big culture shock between the first generation of base 12 and the rest of the base 10 world

Really, being smart and innovative enough to develop weapons and war plans is not admirable? It was conquer or be conquered, only the strong survive, maybe you just hate white culture, history, and people.
"lack of melanin evolved due to certain nutritional deficits."
Source?
Yes. I hate the idea of white culture because I think the idea is racist from the start. I am no more culturally connected to someone based on their skin tone. I hate reckless imperialism and the fact that racism continues to be used to justify it.
Melanin is synthesized by amino acids (tyrosine). I don't think anybody knows but it has been theorized that conserving amino acids in lean times is a reason behind the evolution of white skin. I'm not going to dig up a source but I read it in a Nat'l Geographic or science mag.
"I hate the idea of white culture because I think the idea is racist from the start."
Why? Do you think Negro, Mexican, and Asian culture is racist from the start?

Negro, racist. Mexican, ok, its a nationality which doesn't regard "race". Asian culture, too general to really mean anything.
Why is because race is just stupid and used for selfish ends by weak fearful people.

Mexico and Asia are places, not skin colours. I don't see a problem with the concept of "white culture" in a historical perspective, where white people lived among white people, interacted mostly with white people, and culture didn't spread very far. It would be a very wide concept, as white people from one part of the historical white-populated world would have a different culture from people from somewhere else, but the same goes for equally wide concepts like "asian culture". In the modern world, "white culture" or "black culture" are virtually meaningless, and possibly racist depending on how they're used.

Perhaps because of their cultural inheritance and genes.
I didn't study the question yet.
Do you know for for a fact that english speaking asians (that haven't learned any asian languages) are all better then their counterparts or are you limiting the subject pool to the people you have met??

People I know, went to school with, heard about, etc...
Not a big group of people, probably ~20, but they're smarter than pretty much any 20 white people I know...

I assume its parental pressure.
Ask them if they are happy at home or if they are afraid to confront their parents (which is most likely because most asian country score high on the Hofstede's PDI index)

I already posted, and they aren't. Young ricer racers for example, have superb driving skills, better than a New York taxi cab driver.
Older Asians are the ones known for bad driving, and it's because they are immigrants. Immigrants don't know how to drive. Americans for example, would find it way harder to drive in Japan or China. Millions of pedestrians, super tiny narrow streets, tiny parking spots... Your average American would flip shit and probably crash into something within the first hour of driving.
Also because as Asians get old, their peripheral vision deteriorates.

Interesting story: I actually taught at least three of my white male friends how to parallel park. I can't believe I have friends who drive something as big as a TRUCK and haven't even figured out within their years of driving how to operate their vehicle.

Very true. I couldn't imagine driving around London, let alone Japan.

I love driving in Asia, mostly because I find the drivers to be far more situationally aware than drivers in North America. They're very good on their motorbikes, too.
There's nothing like riding a mountain road in the pissing rain, white knuckled on the bars and fearing imminent death, only to be passed on the inside by a group of 4 laughing schoolgirls on a scooter, texting and eating lunch whilst wearing filp flops, long skirts and no helmets.

Based on the videos I've seen from India, I wouldn't want to drive there. It's insane.

I'm the best parallel parker. If it were a sport, I would win the gold. People stop on the street to watch me at work.

I believe that the morphosyntactic characteristics of several east asian languages have the potential to lead to increased cognitive performance for early-developmental neurolinguistic feedback/feedforward reasons.
Having said that, I also believe in America we have a tendency to believe that the Asian race as a whole is more intelligent than it actually is because of the Asians we are exposed to. As a Chinese person once put it to me, "There are plenty of stupid Chinese people. They stayed in China."
