There is some truth in this, because I see the same thing happening here in The Netherlands were people from Suriname (who are divided and/or mixed in to different ethnicities) are different in the way that the groups who aren't predominantly SSA have much better succes with education and setting up businesses. I don't claim it's genetic but maybe there is a cultural difference betwee those groups, I don't know what it is, but it looks like this is the case anywhere in the world. I think that IQ tests are more or less pseudo scientific, and can not be used the way how they were used from the day they were invented.
I saw I nice Italian movie showing something like this named ''the golden door''
That story of yours about Indians also looks like a cultural difference and a different goal, because those people always wanted a good education for their children and when they finally settle in a western country there is a chance for them to get one. I see the same here in The Netherlands with people from Iran and Afghanistan for example who are better educated then most North Aricans, while they came from poorer conditions than most Morrocans and other minorities. Don't say they're superior to North Africans because you know that's nonsense.

IQ is outdated and ethno-centric method of measurement, but I guess people who need to feel superior to feel relevant will use anything.

So IQ tests are ethnocentric to suit Westerners and yet the highest scores are produced by North East Asians?
