Are asians(Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans etc) genetically smarter?

What's the deal? My son is in university and says that in his classes the top students are almost always Asian kids. My area has a **** load of Indian and Pakistani doctors and software engineers

According to IQ tests they do score a bit higher than other races but perhaps it could be due to more efficient study methods and harder work. Although Asians do have larger brains than whites and blacks so that could play a part as well and in that case the answer to your question would be yes.

No. They're often more driven to do well due to family pressures or a desire to escape the current situation, however. 

Lots of whites are pretty blasé because they're secure: if they fail, they still have mommy and daddy to fall back on.
