      I’ve heard people unironically say that Asian people can only be creative in the West because of freedom or some shit. At least that’s a step up from the outright racists who claim only white people are capable of creativity.

        I mean, to some extent it’s “true” solely because of how standardized Asian education systems are and how much they actually test capability.

        In contrast, American education is a fucking joke. But, by extension, Americans get more time to jack off and do other shit, so from that definition I’m fairly sure creative output in the US would be higher per-capita for people in high school, at least.
