Or maybe they've been brainwashed through propaganda for decades?

But they accepted and believed the propaganda, and also distributed it the most fiercely sometimes.

Every white country up until a couple of decades ago was basically a monoracial ethnostate.

But once anti-racism and diversity were introduced almost all of them quickly capitulated.

There's 5 point difference between white and asian iq and it doesn't look like asian iq has increased over the years

I can't remember the actual study I'm trying to find, but it's called the Flynn effect.

The Flynn effect has been widely researched in Western and European nations, while it has been comparatively understudied in Asian countries. > This study examines possible Flynn effects in China from 1985–86 and to 2011–12. Results are reported for an IQ increase among 12 year olds > on the Full Scale IQ WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Revised) of 6.19 IQ points, a gain on the Performance IQ of 6.55 IQ
points, and a gain on the Verbal IQ of 1.91 IQ points. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3834612/

Research suggests that there is an ongoing reversed Flynn effect, i.e. a decline in IQ scores, in Norway, Denmark, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, France and German-speaking countries,[4] a development which appears to have started in the 1990s.[5][6][7] [8] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect

That, reverse Flynn affect, study included the entire population of the subject countries. The drop in IQ can be easily attributed to immigration.

East Asians may have a slightly higher IQ on paper, but that does not coincide with reality, where life is mostly quite miserable for the average denizen of East Asia. Take a look at their suicide rates. Living standards in S.Korea and Japan, which are the two with the highest standard in East Asia, are not nearly as high as the average Western nation. If you don't include citie-states like; Singapore, Hong Kong, etc, their HDI is also not comprable to a typical Western society.

Also, according to Murphy's March of Titans, Europeans in the last 300 years are responsible for over 96% of all inventions and scientific theories that are broadly accepted nowadays. East Asians have demonstrated that they are very good at taking Western tech and in a few cases, improve upon it, but seem to lack the creative ability to make their own. Japan is a good example. I personally believe this is mostly, but not unequivocally, due to the way their education systems are operated because if you look at East Asians educated under a Western approach, they are a bit more creative than their counterparts in Asia, but still not as much as a typical Western-European student. This is the nature vs. nurture debate.

To summarize, East Asians may have a minute advantage in IQ, but fail to demonstrate it. However, they most likely don't since that ONE study that shows higher IQ has been disproved. They only tested people with the highest IQ; those living in the inner parts of major cities. If you do the same for Europe, you will find Berlin for example has an average IQ of 111. This is quite higher than that of East Asians'.
