So the East Asian cohort in the US is representative of the EA population as a whole but the South Asian population is not?  Explain that logic to me?  Do they get a brain transplant once they reach Ellis Island..   :roll:  [/quote]

More intelligent people are emigrating. Meanwhile China sent many immigrants 100 years ago who may have been lower than average for China.

The recent immigrants may be more intelligent, but because the baseline is higher it doesn't make as much of a difference for East Asians.
If you have been to India, you might have seen the difference between immigrants to the US and native Indians.[/quote]

VERY VERY VERY few Chinese-Americans in the USA, and especially in this area, are descendants of the early immigrants who came to work here on the railroads and mines and in small businesses.[/quote]

+ 1.  The PP you are responding to is stuck on his IQ thesis about Chinese being more intelligent.  China is a successful country mainly because they stole IP from the West, stole land from minorities and as a communist dictatorship, keeps a tight leash on reproduction, education and indoctrination.  Even a simple "random" IQ test will have to be approved by 5 levels of bureaucracy at which point it's not random any longer.  You can walk into any part of India or Sri Lanka, test anyone for a handful of candy, and publish whatever you want.  No one cares.

Of all the races I've worked with, I have not seen any group to be exceptionally more intelligent than another.  Some have stronger skills in one area vs. others.  Most compensate for any lack of skills very effectively. [/quote]
