What do you plan to do with this information other than in the service of not treating people of different “races” as individuals?
Charles Murray justifies studying intellectual differences among races on the grounds that if we didn't study them, we would falsely attribute all the educational and socio-economic disparities between blacks and whites in the US to discrimination and racism.
Maybe a better way to make sure educational and socio-economic disparity is not attributable to racism and individuals are really treated and rewarded by their personality and capability might be to make sure black children growing up in depressed neighborhood actually receive investment in their G1-12 education equal to the average enjoyed by whites, instead of writing them off as “well, their average IQ is lower anyway?”
