Are taller people smarter?
I think brain volume is what matters. I think there's a correlation between height and brain volume, but perhaps it's weaker in some races, particularly those where most people are short.

by "even across all ethnic backgrounds" I meant even the run-of-the-mill white people are shorter too.

So the brain volume (not head size) is smaller in Asian people?

Maybe? The point of my smart ass comment was that a person's height or brain volume doesn't matter...
