You forgot to mention that this refers to Asians that take IQ tests. Isn't it more likely that this is because the Asians that came here were already educated and upwardly mobile. This is cultural, not genetic

One assumes that the authors knew how to do research, took a representative sample and factored in cultural/educational differences. :)

At the same time, intelligence is most certainly genetic. A full potential of genetic capability can be realized with a proper education and culture, but a person who is not born smart will not become so in the right culture or education. Genetics determine basic intelligence.

In any group there will be a bell curve of distribution reagrding any trait you can imagine. A persons individual genes will obviously determine his or her potential for certain traits.
