This is a perfect example of what human "races" are all about - claiming that some group of humans is generally "better" in some way than another group.
The concept of human "races" is merely a social construct used by some groups to pretend they are better than some other groups in general.
Sure, some Orientals may be smarter than some Occidentals.
So what?
Some Occidentals are smarter than some Orientals.
Some Orientals are smarter than some other Orientals.
Some Occidentals are smarter than some other Occidentals.
However - it is NOT TRUE that all Orientals are smarter than all Occidentals.
It's just that humans DIFFER.
But in biology the facts are 100% completely crystal clear - there is no biological or genetic basis to human "races".
If YOU think there is, present a clear cut case, and you will win the Nobel Prize.
I won't hold my breath :-)
