Korean or Asian is originally smart??????

Question

This is the part of lyrics of the song named "Korean Parents" by Randy Newman

you = american kids , they = korean kids

--------------------------------------...

You really think they’re smarter than you are

They just work their asses off

Their parents make them do it

--------------------------------------...

after reading this lyrics,

my Korean friend said that part of lyrics is wrong!!!!!!

cuz korean are originally smarter than american

I was so shocked cuz I have thought that an environment or etc make them smart. (book smart)

and i have believed there's no genetic difference between korean or american etc about being a booksmart (though I don't have any scientific evidence)

and I'm still sure that the korean I met was a little bit crazy

so I wanna know whether there's a scientific evidence that can prove that korean or asian is originally smart or not.

and do many korean think like this??

Answer 1

not specifically Koreans but basically all ASIANS Are Smarter Than Americans.....Its Just Has kind of environment and competition they gr0w up in....We (americans) dont really care abt our competitors but they are very picky abt that and like to do better in everyfield but some as you see Asians Knowz abt american history more than americans....so its just in there genes that they like to be on top of everything.....as recently there was some kind of quiz competition and american kid came 67 and there were 112 countries participating... which tells you americans are not so good in general knowledge.. NO OFFENSE BUDDIES BUT THATS FACT...AND WE (Americans) Gotta deal with it:)

Answer 2

I'd agree with v0lim tae

Answer 3

No Koreans are actually smarter than Americans(as in non-Asian american)

In fact they have an iq of 106 compared to americans(98)

Answer 4

Noone is born smart. Whoever told you otherwise obviously lied. From the people I know both Koreans and Chinese as well as Japanese are smart, because their schools are a lot harder than in the US.  They learn our 8 grade level materials in the 3 or 4th grade.  Samo goes for most countries in Europe as well.
