While I think it's incorrectly worded, I do think cultures encourage behaviours that in turn affects ideas like creative output, but that's not race, only culture.
Example: My native country, Sweden, has a culture of municipal music schools that are relatively cheap. Tons of kids are encouraged, and do, take up some instrument at some point. Very few take it further, but Sweden has a disproportionate number of #1 international pop hits compared to its tiny population. This is obviously also part of that pop music is something that is globally in demand (some countries produce many classical musicians, which may not be as commercially viable).
Kids in the US are encouraged to live the American dream, that anyone can make their own fortune (totally unrealistic, given class structures), and are encouraged to innovate and try things out. Clearly that culture of "self made man" produces a lot of innovation and creative output, which in turn is globally very in demand.
The only asian country I had a little insight into is India. As an outsider, I can't at all claim to understand it, but there appears to be widespread culture of learning a trade, perform that trade the way you learned it, get a good job with a big company and then focus on your family. I trained some outsourced IT staff, and no one there wanted to "stick out" or perform better than the group. People were much more inclined to take collective responsibility for solving a task than individual. I speculate that India as a consequence of this culture, isn't using its full potential for dominance globally, be it creatively, musically etc. Though there are signs of it changing.
