I will side with those of the view that intelligence is largely attributed to the environmental factors to which a person is exposed to. That being said a person's race has a lot to do with a person's culture, hence the slightly measurable differences in IQ test when studied based on race. Thus the results we see are not surprising as the East Asian cultures have always emphasized the importance of education for generations starting from a young age.

That being said, I might be wrong and perhaps geneticist will one day scientifically prove intelligence as being a product of our gene DNA sequences. Assuming that this happens, blatant racism would erupt with discrimination and even the possible return of eugenics.
