Hey, thank you for something very interesting to read.
To answer your question, I don't think he can claim that. The term "smart" is vague and I don't think it can be judge from just IQ , the size of the brain and the number of the cortical neurons alone. Also, I believe it's still in debate today whether intelligence come from genetic alone or it's effected by the environment.
I'd rather wait and see if the differences it's still the same in the next 10 years or so before making any conclusion. (And if they can define intelligence by then. I personally think that being smart is really depend on the situation.)
Right now, I think your friend can claim that he has IQ score, brain size and the number of the cortical neurons more than average black people, supported by the article above. But not smart, no.
