The evidence shows that the gifted program is just racist. It's not surprising that the descendants of Europeans do better on European cultural artifacts like math and science, canonical western literature. "Gifted" is an apt name. They are students that have been gifted cultural knowledge before others so they can pretend to be special.
I'd argue that most "gifted" students are inherently dumber since they uncritically believe and internalize whatever BS their parents feed them.
It's understandable that parents have desire to how power over their children, but at some point the state needs to step in and recognize child abuse for what it is.

Granted, our current global math and science traditions are European, but math and science in and of themselves are absolutely not European. They are universal. As in, you could literally be raised on a different planet by a different species and math would still be math, physics would still be physics.
If this is true, and I’m not saying it isn’t or that there isn’t an element of truth to it, how do you explain how heavily Asian children are featured in gifted child programs?
I do get it if gifted kid programs in music only does Classical, but no jazz (especially in US would consider this a bit odd), but Maths and Science are purely European cultural inventions now, WTF? Is this a troll? You go blaming others from racist just ending up saying something incredibly racist yourself?
Honesrly, read on some history of mathematics and science. We ”Europeans” did not invent them. No single culture did.
