Because I notice it's mostly Asians and Europeans at the top of the list.

No, but intelligence helps someone gain more power, and in turn allows them to kill more victims.

Stupid people are actually the most evil. They are evil because their stupidity makes them blind to it and they lash out in unpredictable ways. Look at pedos, the stipidest of all people, and they are pure grade A evil. At least smart evil people are only after your money or your womens. It takes the true evil of stupidity to go after your lolis.
Beat advise i can give is to say really make your kids look as adult as possible --makeups, high heels, you know; really dress them up. Pedos are so stupid they just think they are tiny adults and so their evil is negated.

It doesn't mean that they are more evil. They are just successful enough to have more people to kill.

Smart People are mean, Dumb People are nice. Geniuses are psychotic and high-strung, idiots are nice and sweet, because ignorance is bliss. In comedy pairs the genius will smack around the idiot.
The smart character will be mean because he is arrogant and literally doesn't suffer fools gladly. In more sympathetic portrayals, the smart character is good underneath, but made cynical and bitter by his keen intellect, which allows him to see that the world sucks. Conversely, the dumb character has no reason to be continuously happy, other than to provide a foil for the smart character, to show that being all smart all the time makes you unlikeable, miserable, or both, and why would you choose to be that way if ignorance is bliss?
This trope can also be applied to intelligence itself, with the Book Dumb hero's street smarts and practical experience being shown as superior to academics whose knowledge is dusty, dry and doesn't work in the real world, another tenet of anti-intellectualism.
May be caused by the This Loser Is You effect, since Viewers Are Morons; also closely related to Book Dumb. Not to be confused with Good Is Dumb. This can extend to intellectual pursuits, leading to Straw Vulcan, Science Is Bad or even Science Is Wrong. Can also lead to an Idiot Hero.
A direct inversion of Good Is Not Dumb. Contrast with Gentleman And A Scholar, in which an intelligent character is one of the most pleasant, thoughtful, and well-adjusted people around. Try not to get this and Silent Protagonist mixed up.

Ruined, eh? We wouldn't want that. Nope, nope. Just wouldn't do. And at no point do I intend on attempting to do so.
CLICK IT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
