The only "level playing field" is the objective scientific 'universe', where things are peer-reviewed, replicated, and when the findings have been found to be the same again and again, are held to be 'facts'.
The mean Indian American IQ in the USA is 110-112. THIS explains why they are high-performers; they are the top 0.5% of Indians living on this Earth, and they have been snatched by Americans (and other countries like GB).
It's explained rationally and objectively. You can't refute it because there is nothing to object to. The mean Indian American IQ is a full 30 points higher than that of the average Indian. That's *two* standard deviations above the Indian mean. Comparing the top 0.5% of Indians against the average Chinese or White or WHOMEVER, is not only intentionally misleading and dishonest, but is also an indication of your inherent desperation to prove the world what you already know not to be true: that Indians are superior.
Instead of comparing the highest 0.5% of Indians against the distinctly average Chinese, why don't we compare the average Chinese with the average Indian? Does that seem to be objectively fair, or is that too offending to your pamperedness?
Around 95% of Indians and Chinese live in India and China, respectively. What more could you ask for? The average Indian IQ is 82, while the average Indian IQ is 106.
1: There is no reliable data on the positive correlation between individual freedoms and IQ. Post some.
2: High-IQ nations/races have had a history of living under brutal regimes. Try Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.
3: China is, as are most East Asian nations, largely conformist in nature. Regardless of the underlying innate intelligence of the population, advocating for a revolution as you "smart" Indians would do, would probably cause more destruction than it would an improvement in the economic and social outlook of the country. Our political system is a remnant of a time of social and political upheaval. We are not going to do the "smart" Indian thing by destroying our country in a revolution simply because we wan't things to advance more quickly. So actually, now that I think of it, the lack of Chinese calls for a revolution or violence (as is currently happening in India) is probably an indication of our ability to control our impulses and refrain from violence on a mass scale.
I hope I helped you with your overly simplistic assessment and your contemptible, poorly expressed rebuttal.
Shanghai Bob- where do you come with that crap of Indian IQ = 30 points more in the US. Is that what your brainwashed Borg told you in China, to justify why you have poor performing Chinese in other countries? and better yet IQ as basis of any intelligence in adult brains has been debunked and has no bearing on the ability of a person to succeed. well- given the people are not at a mental retardation level.
A new study from researchers at the University of Western Ontario has come to a surprising conclusion that the very idea of the IQ (intelligence quotient) score is based upon a false premise. Dr. Adrian Owen, the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the University’s Brain and Mind Institute, acted as senior investigator on the study, and he says their finding proves “there is no such thing as a single measure of IQ or a measure of general intelligence.” He continued, “When we looked at the data, the bottom line is [that] the whole concept of IQ – or of you having a higher IQ than me – is a myth.”
Owen and his team looked at the results of 12 separate cognitive tests across 100,000 subjects, programs which were advertised through both New Scientist magazine and the Discovery Channel website. The team originally anticipated a response from “a few thousand” participants, but the rush of those wanting to take part ended up making the research the largest online study on intelligence to date. Some subjects also volunteered to functional MRI scans to monitor brain activity during their tests, and it was this portion of the study that definitively proved to Owen that IQ is a myth. “If there is something in the brain that is IQ, we should be able to find it by scanning,” he told the Toronto Star newspaper. “But it turns out there is no one area in the brain that accounts for people’s so-called IQ.”

there have numerous studies done that show that concept of higher IQ is not a basis to show intelligence.
IQ ‘a myth,’ study says - Research led by Western University finds at three factors contribute to intelligence. http://www.thestar.com/life/2012/12/19/iq_a_myth_study_says.html
The study, published in the journal Neuron on Wednesday, involved 100,000 participants around the world taking 12 cognitive tests, with a smaller sample of the group undergoing simultaneous brain-scan testing.
“When we looked at the data, the bottom line is the whole concept of IQ — or of you having a higher IQ than me — is a myth,” said Dr. Adrian Owen, the study’s senior investigator and the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging at the university’s Brain and Mind Institute. “There is no such thing as a single measure of IQ or a measure of general intelligence.”
