I would show them the information contained in the links above and what would they tell me in response?...
I think their starting point would be the one made by the authors of one of the studies you mention:
"In their article, Rushton and Jensen also address some of the policy issues that stem from their conclusions. Their main recommendation is that people be treated as individuals, not as members of groups."
Incidentally, I see that Asians outscored whites on two of three SAT categories of the CNN report. You're still second best, corny, no matter how you look at it.

Or copy and paste all of the Nobel Science winners from the pages below into a Word document and use the "Replace All" function to count up the number of times "Switzerland" appears. Do the same for "China", "Japan", "Korea" and "India". If you do that, you will see that tiny Switzerland, with only 7.6 million people, has produced more Nobel *science* winners than all of those 2 billion plus Asians combined. The fact is that Europeans (and Jews) invented virtually all of modern math and science.

I believe that if you wheel in an oxygen canister and a hydrogen canister and open the valves and then sprinkle some carbon around and a little bit of this and a little bit of that and put a little moisture in the air and add a sun lamp, then when you come back in 5 billion years the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms will have assembled themselves into human beings.

True, now point out the Asians in the Science Channel's list of "100 Greatest Discoveries" (Hint: There aren't any).
Oh please...at least make it a challenge! No methodology, no criteria, no attribution to expert sources, no semantic discussion of what constitutes a "great" discovery? Cosmological interest puts 'interpreting gamma-ray bursters' on the list but without the invention of the compass Columbus would still be looking for the New World.
It's a fun list, designed to grow audience while not overly taxing the average tv viewer, white or black. (Asians, of course, could handle something with more intellectual elaboration, given their higher SAT scores.)
A long and rather stunning list of Chinese intellectual creativity:
