    According to Satoshi Kanazawa, East Asians are less creative then Europeans.

    East Asian enrollment in Western univerisites has increased greatly in recent times. In addition to reduced creativity, East Asians are known to secure places by "trying hard", spending longer hours memorizing subjects and attending cram schools. Is it the case that increasing East Asian domination of Western academia will be harmful for global technological progress? Should the entry system be changed to accomodate this situation?

    I am not sure about harm to the institution itself, but if there's limited space, other groups will definitely get displaced.

    Sure, but assuming it's not a problem for Whites to hand over their university places to East Asians (which it is), will the quality of work go down?

    East Asians seem to have the higher IQ and test scores to justify their inclusion into Western Universities. We don't have any good testing for "creativity" so if anyone feels particularly creative, they can drop out and found a Microsoft or Facebook.

    Satoshi Kanazawa is a Japanese academic who is keeping his research job at London's LSE for some reason and he firmly established himself as the most controversial evolutionary psychologist on the planet. Kanazawa cannot complain about losing his LSE post due to the controversies he created so far.
