That's a very racist article, genetically all races and ethnicities are equal intellectually. The differences are just cultural.

This simply hasn't been proven. IQ data shows that black africans have an average IQ of 70, African-Americans have an average IQ of 85, whites have an average IQ of 100, east Asians have an average IQ of 105, and Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of 112. Research says that intellectual abilities are largely heritable (over 50%), and while the genes responsible for high intelligence haven't all been mapped yet, the debate is far from over.
