I didn't see this post when you first posted it so that's why I'm replying to it a bit late. No, being non white has nothing to do with it. The countries which exhibit most signs of being highly intelligent as I've said, are non white countries, South Korea, Japan, parts of China. So this post was fallacious even if it was masked with sarcasm.
Fair point. But i wonder how much of this statement is tinged with the cultural stereotypes prevalent in the UK? How many Koreans do you have vs how many Somalis? How might any disparity affect attitudes in British culture, and might not those attitudes have insinuated themselves into your thinking?
