I hate political correctness. If he would have said Asians are smarter than whites, anger, violence, slamming him in the media, or forcing this guy to apolgize wouldn't have been the reaction I would have.
If he could back up his claim with sound, peer-reviewed, and an understanding of 'why', then it could be believed.
Now there are way too many other factors to conclude that just by the color of your skin that you would be dumb. There are plenty of minority people who are smarter than whites, so the theory wouldn't pass right there. If he said it might be easier for whites to retain information in memories better, he might be able to test that theory.
