The demographics of the United States are fundamentally different than what they once were. Whether people like to admit it or not, IQ and biological origin are linked.
For the record my father grew up as a shoeless jungle peasant in Nicaragua. He immigrated to the US in his late 20's and at the age of 30 he nearly lost his hand in a factory accident in Brooklyn. So he took college courses at night and eventually became a top DB admin at various institutions in NYC. He had something to prove so he just worked harder than all his peers. He was a man of his word of high integrity so he was given ever increasing responsibility.
Maybe he'd do poorly in a quantum physics class. But one does not need to score well on an IQ test in order to have integrity and ambition or to be a valued citizen.

Can you clarify that? Because it sounds like some pretty racist bad science.
