The best athletes make it to the Olympics, if our Asian Americans or better than European Americans, than the Asian Americans have more talent.
Just like more than 70% of African American NFL football players or better than the European Americans counterparts.

Yeah, guilty as charged. To be fair, the NYT tweet isn't doing the article any favors...

I don't care who wrote the article and trying to hide behind semantics doesn't CYA.

The NYT's estimates can't be trusted, because all Asians probably look alike to them.
