That's what's called a stereotype, my buddy. There isn't ACTUAL documented proof of Asian's being more intelligent than others. Similar to how black people are sometimes portrayed in media as brute, swearing thugs, or people with glasses as shy nerds with no self-esteem or social tact. I'm part British, so I could call myself more sophisticated because British people are often portrayed as sophisticated in media. I'm part Irish, so I could call myself more fun, since they are often portrayed as rowdy, drunk, and silly, and since I was born in Canada, I could call myself more rugged, since Canada is often portrayed as this cold, desolate wasteland where igloos are the norm and even in the summer, everything is covered in snow.

If I were you, I'd just be happy I share something in common with Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai), Masaki Kobayashi (The Human Condition, which is actually my avatar), and Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, and a lot of Studio Ghibli's stuff). (Does every Japanese name end with a vowel?)
