re ethnic/national distribution of genius

check into the journals of the learned societies.  journals of the american medical association, the american physics society also for chemistry, math, astronomy, etc.  all the “hard sciences,”  if you can find british sources, all the better.  parlez vous outre langues?  skip social studies, basket weaving, etc.   look at the index pages and concentrate on the names of the authors.  lots of chengs, patels, orlovs, and rabinowitzes.  not so many smiths, joneses and carters.  almost no d’shandas or d’keldricks.

this is nothing new.  fred reed spoke to this point in one of his columns years ago (’02? ’03?), and i did the index page survey.  lotsa singhs, fongs, and kleins, hardly any jeffersons, browns or edwardses.  🙁
