What a cunt to ask about western society to begin with. Like this old crazy rain woman knows shit about America.

Americans employ Vietnamese immigrants to do math for them.

@wodiya you are totally wrong... She is just being honest... and she is not boasting....she is just talking with a lot of confidence because she knows what she is talking about.

@wodiya What the hell are you talking about? Firstly, what the woman looks like has absolutely nothing to do with her talent. Secondly, she isn't 'boasting' about her status, she just telling the interviewer what she has learnt from her family - how is that boasting? Thirdly, I'd like to see you calculate large numbers in your puny head. And finally, she's going around the world, showing students who despise maths that it really isn't as bad as schools make it seem - it can be a fun experience.

I am Indian, and this woman is extremely prejudiced despite the fact she ugly as hell. At 5:23 notice how she boasts about her high brahmin caste status. Also she is not that much of a genius. She hasn't contributed that much to mathematical or scientific world.

I've watched an interview that exposes the intentions of this carol reese committee.

I'm not concerned with what they want because they have proven incompetent to achieve it. personally I'd have to say that in general a lot of peoples statements are true. but for this reporter to specifically point out American society is poor journalism and speaks volumes about her character and quality of professionalism.

personal and social education is why other countries poll better. not the boogyman!
