The whole notion of "intelligence" is western and caucasio-centric. To say, "oh, look, those people from other cultures--they're not as good at us at the things we, as a culture, do" isn't exactly breakthrough thinking.

The problem comes from a application of value to the term "intelligence". In reality, being intelligent (however it's defined) isn't any more valuable than not being intelligent--above some baseline survival-level capacity, anyway.
