Check out the average SAT scores by ethnicity and get back to us. Certain ethnicities tend to score higher than others.
Do the same for higher education attainment as a percentage of population, and also incarceration rates.
If you have any doubt left, check out how differently the people of Japan and Haiti reacted when faced with a tragedy.

It could be cultural, but not all people behave in the same manner.

I think Americans are the smartest in the world.
The reason is although only with the population of over three hundred million people but the U.S dominate the world. Especially today they moved all their factories to China, making China become the "factory of the world" or "factory of Americans", while they enjoy more money on every product made in China.
