I'm not saying anyone is dumb. I'm saying groups differ on average which is why you get disparate results even if you have 100% the same environment.

And you have nothing actually concrete to back it up.

Shoo troll, your bigotry is showing.

"It is becoming more and more clear that "cultures" or "ethnic groups" do have characteristics that are not identical"

Nope, different average traits due to 50,000 years divergent evolution. This is why you see group differences in rates of maturation, bone density, brain volume etc. Local selective pressures exerted even over several hundred years can cause big changes in cognitive function.

It is becoming more and more clear that "cultures" or "ethnic groups" do have characteristics that are not identical

Really? And what may these be? Perhaps they are the result of pervasive bias that unfairly grants white male unearned positive privilege?

"Racism"

You (we) can't litigate or legislate our way out of "Racism"; it just won't work. It is becoming more and more clear that "cultures" or "ethnic groups" do have characteristics that are not identical. It may very well be that some just don't "test well", just as some idividuals don't do as well in tests as they might. This may very well doom the "multi-ethnic" society if we get too tense about it, but does our social life come to an end just because some of our acquaintances are obviously not as "smart" as some of the others? I think Malcom X was on the right track.. disigny
