Western Europeans from wealthy backgrounds. That describes the majority of great scientists and inventors from the past 300 years. Of course there are exceptions (Richard Trevithick, etc...).
I believe race is not the reason for this, simply circumstances, at the time of most advancements Europe was inhabited by predominantly native people and education in less developed countries was poor.
If we are talking about the present I would have to agree that japan has the highest intelligence, their education is second to none and they have jobs that require great intelligence (electronics, computer stuff, whatever).

I would say it depends on individuals not race! Besides there are multiple intelligences according to
The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 as a model of intelligence that differentiates intelligence into various specific (primarily sensory) modalities[disambiguation needed ], rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability.
Gardner argues that there is a wide range of cognitive abilities, and that there are only very weak correlations among them. For example, the theory predicts that a child who learns to multiply easily is not necessarily generally more intelligent than a child who has more difficulty on this task. The child who takes more time to master simple multiplication 1) may best learn to multiply through a different approach, 2) may excel in a field outside of mathematics, or 3) may even be looking at and understanding the multiplication process at a fundamentally deeper level, or perhaps as an entirely different process. Such a fundamentally deeper understanding can result in what looks like slowness and can hide a mathematical intelligence potentially higher than that of a child who quickly memorizes the multiplication table despite a less detailed understanding of the process of multiplication.

I would say Japanese! They just seem to win everything academically, and its a major stero type so has to have some kind of reason behind it!
