Re <<I give up....sigh>>
I investigated one layer deep and see where 'they' might be headed with the meme that math is racist, just as some schools got rid of test scores as criteria for entry, as now debated all the way up to the Supreme Court

For the years that US won, taking 2019 as example ... and I checked, 'Robitaille' is a French name, and the other names are self-evident, so no racism, clearly

U.S. Places First at International Mathematics Competition in U.K.
Carnegie Mellon University
The U.S. team tied for first place with China at the 60th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), which was held in Bath, United Kingdom, July 11-22. The six U.S. team members, Vincent Huang (a returning member from 2017 and 2018), Luke Robitaille, Colin Tang, Edward Wan, Brandon Wang and Daniel Zhu also won gold medals for their individual high scores in the Olympiad, known as the world championship mathematics competition for high school students.
The U.S. team is coached by Carnegie Mellon University Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences Po-Shen Loh. Under Loh’s leadership, the team also placed first at the IMO in 2015, 2016 and 2018.
Each year, the six members of the team make their final preparations for the IMO at Carnegie Mellon’s Pittsburgh campus at the Mathematical Association of America’s Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MAA’s MOP), where they train with some of the world’s best high school math students.
