I can categorically confirm that there are tangible genetic differences between ethnic groups: a quick alignment search, or 'BLAST' using the NCBI tool (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) demonstrates this.

How this correlates with IQ, however, is completely unknown because there is literally no way that any researcher would get funding to do a comprehensive study on the subject!

For me, the most irritating aspect of the typical libby leftist response to this issue is when they point out, for example, that they have a Nigerian GP or something. This demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of basic statistics: we're talking about mean averages and standard deviations here, which means there is a spread of data and their Nigerian doctor is an obvious outlier.

The problem is the reality of the situation: in the West we live in multicultural societies, so if there is a genuine relationship between ethnicity and IQ it is probably having a serious impact on our societies and economies. But, where do we go from here?

You end with the million dollar question. If there are differences, and concrete evidence is provided, I imagine the mainstream would hush it up anyway. This is probably the most difficult topic in politics, however, ignoring it isn't going to work either.
