Richard Nesbitt claims that the Western tendency to analyze reality by breaking it into atomized components, rather than the East Asian tendency of holistic thought, encouraged the development of the scientific method, formal logic, and rhetoric. Nisbett is a huge critic of IQ hereditarianism, but that doesn't need to stop one from integrating his ideas into an HBD-centric outlook. And Jayman doesn't talk much about IQ, HBDChick even less so.

Asian science is not up to par, but Asian technology is world-class. This fits the idea that Asians are better at situated/relational thought than abstract thought. And Chinese-Americans do pretty well (my parents being two examples of that)

LessWrong is a high-IQ tech oriented site, but it's 85% White, and has a third as many Asians as Google by percent. They're all about abstract/formal thought, even more than its average IQ would predict.
