The irony of it all Lol

thats what USA always do, takes all brain immigration and beats other countries,

@lololulu19 Cute story, although there's some fake news here: This is actually the winning team from the 49th International Chemistry Olympiad in 2017 (see https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/web/2017/07/US-team-makes-history-IChO.html).

@eobox91103 Strange.. at my university, asians were not that proficient in chemistry. I was proficient in chemistry.

@turkishboyb I agree, however, you must remember that unlike Turkey, all of us in the USA are imports from other countries except the few Native Americans. There have been Asians in the US now for many generations, so who knows how long this team has been truly American.

Talk about over-cooking the soup!
The original post was supposed to be a joke - an attempt to create an Internet Meme!
The validity of the picture or the caption isn't at issue... it's supposed to be funny that America beat the Chinese, but "had to use Chinese immigrants" to do it!
HARDY HAR HAR HAR!
OK, so the racist humor was lost on you... but at least recognize that it was never intended to be more than a joke?

@bi4smooth I do indeed get the joke...but it would have been just the same if the caption had read "chemistry team" instead of "math team." This makes one wonder why someone would put on an erroneous caption, when the real one would work just fine. It reminds us to check the veracity of graffiti on the electronic superhighway.

Maybe - just maybe - they didn't know where the pic came from originally? I mean, if you have the idea for the "meme", you generally just look thru pics to find the right one! Or, it works the other way - you see the pic and the meme/caption just comes to you!
Still over-thinking this!!
