Perhaps if Black Africans devised the intelligence tests, we would see a different picture?
Perhaps the tests merely define how well you can think as a white person?First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment

Black people as a whole tend to have more limited educational opportunities, so therefore you would expect them to do worse at IQ tests as a whole compared with whites. A proper study stratified by income, educational attainment, and country of origin, etc., would help answer the question not a simple is A better than B, when as much heterogeneity exists within (intra) as between groups (inter).The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

However, you can learn how to be good at IQ tests, and the more you do, the better you become.
