Careful now. Most Nobel prize winners are white. Is that a compoiment to the whole "white race"? Think of the implication - do have non-white races have intellectual deficits that derive from inferior genes?

I have niot chekced it, but I am certain that most Nobel prize winners also are males. If that is a compliment to the male gender, do females then have a stupidity-gene, or males a superior intelligence-gene?

Obvious genetics/evolution play a role with the races, blacks dominate most physical sports.

Care to elaborate?

Your claim "most sports are dominated by blacks" could be questioned.

And within a given sports where such dominance can be empirically demonstrated, you need to exclude sociological and cultural and environmental and food-related factors, and positively show physiological traits being the decisive factor.

Not obvious at all. Does that mean white guys are genetically disposed to be better race car drivers? Reread Skybird's last post. Just because it happens doesn't mean it's genetics, or inherent. It could just mean there's more cause to strive in that area.

I get your point, but just for the record, there is a 3rd possibility that I've actually heard suggested in case of females - the average is more or less the same, but there is more deviation from the average in males, so the brightest (Nobel prize winners, if the system is run right) and dumbest will both be males.
