How do you know genetics is the REASON why a race is testing at a higher IQ than another? That is, unless you can prove that genetics is 100% responsible for intelligence.

This proposition is a false alternative. Why does genetics being responsible for intelligence have to be a binary value? 100% or 0%? It might be 3% or 98%. The fact that science makes a correllation to it having some effect seems to offend you. I would suggest that you exercise some emotional intelligence, set that offense aside, and consider the question rationally.

I don't think it's that "science made a correlation to race having some effect on intelligence" that is offending him...moreso that "science" appears to be only testing for the correlation between a certain genetic grouping compared to another based on a prejudice and a desired result, as opposed to evaluating other possible correlations that may have a much stronger relationship...such as eye color, hair color, or how much hair you have on your back.
