I'm more taken aback by the ridiculous premise about Asians. The current Chessmaster is Norwegien. Therefore Norwegians are superior. Play against any Norwegian, you'll lose. It's a completely asinine point to argue and one that's only reflected by the Asians that are propped up internationally (because they're the best of their own locales) while ignoring the fact that they are culturally dogshit at any 'fluid' or 'dynamic' strategy requirements. And that's in a vacuum, while we ignore the rampant hikikimori issue, sexual crimes, and suicide rates.
You're comparing the best of one country to the average of another with completely different and incompatible metrics (remember that IQ is relative to the population slice, so comparing two populations that never interacted with one another on a united academic level is ???).
It's okay to say you just like Asians. It's fine.
