Are asians most likely smarter than any other race?
Maybe not all asians..Most people here in America thinks that an "asian" have slanted eyes or etc..what about those russians? indians or cambodians..? But in this case, I will only concentrate my question to asian countries like " china,korea,vietnam,philippines,japan,taiwan,& hongkong. [yes there are alot of asian countries, but the countries I mentioned above are somewhat being typically referred as asians with slanted eyes,not most of them, but you know what I mean] I search over the net and I saw the US census bureau of 2007 related to household income and I found out Asian household lead the chart earning $60,000 up, followed by white= $40,000 or more, then by hispanics and black. as a 15 year old student, I found it easy here in the US when we moved here coz' they only have 4 blocks of classes in the whole day while in the philippines, we do have 9 to 12 blocks. Not all asians are smart, yes there are criminals and etc, but generally in school, are they smart?

Yes SOME are very smart I'm pretty sure somebody is going to give you slack for stereotyping but it is true and if anything it's a nice stereotype that can be backed up by the everyday world
2 :
No, this question is extremely stereotypical by made noneless than a media influenced american. Asian study hard because they have to, or they wouldn't be able to live in America where racism and stereotype flourishes. Asians study hard mainly because of their culture, if you bring a 1 yearold Asian child to america, He will not do as great as of those in their native land, this shows that Asian does not have natural talent in understanding Human language and problem solving method, but it is a learning process made in different progress by different cultures

look at the UC colleges enrollment and tht'll answer your question. it's not about being smarter though. typical asian fmilies in America have strict rules and guidelines and put education first in the children's lives.

it's so funny, honestly most asians are soo smart and insane at video games it's crazy. but i don't mean to stereotype.
5 :
I don't know cause I was always told Germans and Cherokee Indians were always very intelligent people also.
6 :
As a whole yes its part of the culture. The parents and teachers are more strict so the kids are smarter and eventually get involved with something that makes lots of money. That's why Japan has some of the worlds best technology and why China makes everything.
7 :
It's cultural. Most people forget that Asian-Americans mostly come from generations of people who migrated to America. Very bright, very determined, very hard-working people who set their values very high. I don't think that intelligence is genetic, so Asians are not genetically smarter than other races. Anyone can have a high IQ, you just have to value your education highly.

It's all based on the way you were raised. Most Asians come from families that highly value education and the children are encouraged to study hard and do well in school. If someone comes from a home that puts an emphasis on education and getting a well paying job, they are likely to pursue that goal. Many Asian communities also have programs to help kids learn. I know my area has the CPC for the Chinese community that has volunteers to help tutor kids which helps boost grades. The more support you have along the way, the more likely you are to be successful. it's all a cultural thing, not a genetic thing.

Qwerty is wrong. Intelligence IS genetic. Please study.
11 :
Yes, but I think it's not that they were born more "intelligent" then everyone else. It's just that their parents pressure them to work harder in school. Especially if they're parents or grandparents were immigrants from Asia. Since China and other Asian countries are so populated, the students have no choice but to work hard to make it into colleges to have a good future, since there is so much competition. So since their parents were raised that way, generally they'll raise their kids that way too.
