No that's not what I meant.
For example, the mean IQ of the US is reported as 98 but it should be read as 98 +/- 1.

So the question is, Huggy, are you saying that you believe the inherent intelligence of the races is equal, and if so, what justification do you have for that belief?
That's not how the null hypothesis works. Why would the default position be that every human is different?
Because there is no reason for populations that have evolved in separate geographical regions and vary in the mean value of several phenotypic traits to have exactly the same mean IQ.
What makes you think that the null hypothesis is that there are no differences in mean IQ's among the races?
