People frequently suggest that NE Asians are brighter, but it is commonly believed in China that people from Guangdong, who belong in the SE Asian genetic group and also comprise the bulk of the overseas Chinese population, are more intelligent than those from the NE. Agreed. People from Guangdong (and Hong Kong) aren't full SE Asian though, they're more like 1/2 NE Asian, 1/2 SE Asian.        2508
