Idk about east asians but the erroneous perception that most Indians are high iq is due to sampling bias. Only those Indians who are high iq are able to move out of India and secure a job in the west. The average to low iq people remain in India. In fact, according to some global surveys, Indians have among the lowest iqs in the entire world

This is irrelevant to the point I am making in the post. If Indians in the US are high IQ, Americans will think of them as high IQ.
