Mav88 you say you think some people try to hide some science of correlation of race and intelligence. But really no one proove this.
Look, here is different opinion to your link.

I don't know how many times this has to be repeated, I know that it hasn't been proven, I'm saying that the evidence available is pointing towards it. The evidence is quite strong.
Secondly I wish that fallacious argument about inter-race versus intra-race would be discredited once and for all. It is a really dumb argument. I'll explain...
Take ANY two gaussians, representing some sort of characteristic about two groups of anything. It will ALWAYS be true that intra-population differences will be higher than inter-population differences due to the fact that Gaussians basically extend to infinity. It is a big so what. For example the lowest IQ white guy probably doesn't even have a measureable IQ because they are basically vegetables. The highest IQ is near 200, for a spread of around 200. But so what? when you compare populations you compare median, mode, peak, standard deviation and not the absolute spreads. The fact is that measured black IQs are one standard deviation lower and that is proving to have significant societal implications by the results on things like the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, High School proficiency, pre-school proficiency, GRE, etc.
notice also that your link says
But in fact these genetic studies have not ruled out the idea that race is unimportant or skin deep. Yes, there are genetic differences, but whether these differences add up to anything more than superficial characteristics is still an open question. (The vast majority of genetic variants are very likely to be basically neutral variants.)
He says the idea of race genetics is not ruled out, we have been saying that all along.
Superficial is a subjective term. Skin differences are not superficial with regard to skin cancer, and the skin is a major organ of the body. So why is that 'superficial'? Is athletic ability superficial with regard to pro sports? No it is not, the argument is only some politically correct garbage.
