well in 50 years Japan & Korea have gone from nothing to being the most technologically advanced nations in the world, China will probably do the same. In America Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese etc. kids top most classes. If not genes, just luck I guess

I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Sean F ... Do you have the facts to back up your assertion? Or are you just using PC talk?

The reason why one would think so is because they come across that way. But the reason why they seem so intelligent is because they are over populated in such small space. The only chance of making it is to learn, which would be ingrained at birth from parents with past experience. They compete for universities that are reckonized throughout the world. They seriously need to know English. They only have specific employment otherwise they become second class citizens. There welfare is more serious than others from other countries. Morals are everything, as for some counties there out the back door. Like all of us we are in a iron cage but they have more bars to free themselves. They must move forward. Hope this helps.

How on earth can you think that. White people are no less nor anymore intelligent than any race. The Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do not seem to be anymore intelligent than any other race either.

Robbie: Well put, I agree with you, the only point I think is worth adding, is that they have a self discipline we do not. They live in a far more disciplined society, although I am liberal I believe it is the disciplined cultures that will prosper. Maybe they are more intelligent in that they realise what they have to do in order to get ahead and survive and they do it.

There was a book that argued that a few years ago. I think it was called "The Bell Curve." You could also say that IQs seem to be able to change, and that the tests seem to favor some types of people over others.

Yes, ducky.
Have you every wondered where the money came from for their advancement?
And do you understand the very first thing about race relations?
In most countries you would now be in court

I don't think so. Every cultural group has genetically intelligent as well as less intelligent people. One cannot generalise like you do.

No, it's just that those cultures encourage hard work and perseverance more than the average Caucasian country.

That is an extremely dangerous, racist, and inflammatory remark to make. I wouldn't insult teenagers by accusing you of being one but grow up. So stupid to post things like that.
If you are asking a question, you cant give thumbs down just because someone doesn't agree with you.
Thata not asking a question then is it?? You are just looking for people to agree with you.
