"The average white IQ is of course 100 and the Asian (like the Jewish) almost one standard deviation higher, that is, 115.

Black children in particular often come from disordered households, which has a negative effect on ability to learn and perhaps indeed on IQ (which is only partly hereditary) as well. Increasingly, black and Hispanic students find themselves in schools with few white or Asian students."
Average Asian IQ has been shown to range from 99 to 105, not 115!
