>Have you also thought about why Indian American kids win spelling bee's or Jews win Nobel Prize disproportionately when compared to their population?

You make me laugh. Indians are nowhere close to Jews. Sure, Indians make up 1% of the US population, but they also make up almost one fifth of Earth's population as a whole. There are more than one billion Indians on Earth.

If you want to play the "maybe they're just biologically superior" card, (1) that's contradicting your own argument and (2) it just doesn't work with Indians. Of course you will see a generally smart group of people when you specifically only let in the top 0.0001% of the Indian population to begin with.

To be completely clear, I don't mean that any specific race is inherently bad or good. I'm just providing a viewpoint as a non-Indian person who is a part of the situation.
