Then how do you explain the same Asians people being successful in other countries where the immigration process is not as strict as USA? By saying that "already-high-IQ" people immigrate to the home country aren't you in effect saying that there is no one in the native homeland with a higher IQ than the immigrating pool? Isn't that a self-defeating argument in itself? Are you saying that there is a preference given to Asians over white people by the employers?

> Then how do you explain the same Asians people being successful in other countries where the immigration process is not as strict as USA? Since immigration costs money and it's "easier" to stay where you are born, there is no way to escape a selection bias. > By saying that "already-high-IQ" people immigrate to the home country aren't you in effect saying that there is no one in the native homeland with a higher IQ than the immigrating pool? No, and I'm not sure how that follows. The argument that I'm defending just asserts that the ones who immigrate are "better" than average in some way. > Are you saying that there is a preference given to Asians over white people by the employers? Again, no. The preference is already given by the immigration office.
