Secondly, it's interesting that this 115 figure seems to rely heavily on people who the System hates, i.e. Richard Lynn and Charles Murray. It is unsurprising that these two are treated as acceptable sources when speaking of Jews but not when speaking of other non-whites except when making another System-friendly claim (East Asian > White in IQ).

I know this post is several days old but I have been making the exact same conclusions, there was a Wikipedia article up for the longest time claiming that studies "generally" found that Jews had 107-115 IQ, it relied on Lynn who Wikipedia called a racist pseudoscientist otherwise. If I'm not mistaken Wikipedia also used or uses Lynn for east Asian numbers in some articles.

you have any idea where the supposed East Asian IQ superiority claim originates from I'd also like to know. I know The Bell Curve is one source in which this claim is made.

It seems to originate from Lynn per this article:
