Here a list of countries with IQ's below 75. Some of these countries have mixed races (Ex:Arab/Negro), so its tough to pinpoint where or which tribe has the lowest IQ.... BUT!!!! do you notice a pattern?
Republic of the Congo 73
Uganda 73
Jamaica 72
Kenya 72
South Africa 72
Sudan 72
Tanzania 72
Ghana 71
Nigeria 67
Guinea 66
Zimbabwe 66
Democratic Republic of the Congo 65
Sierra Leone 64
Ethiopia 63
Equatorial Guinea 59
Also... this nonsence about race as an artificial construct is very easy to disprove with genetics... and if you want me to disprove it.... I will.

I would very interested in a debate on the Genetics of Race.

The only pattern I see is that the countries mentioned are countries which have been oppressed by the white man.
Raulmarrio2000:
A low IQ means little inteligence, but they may not be violent. I think education plays an important role. And we must make a difference between discrimination and caution. When a dangerous disease has a high prevalence among one group, authorities check everyone from that group. And this is not discrimination. It's just safety. We know that, statistically, terrorism has a very high prevalence among Muslims, so each Muslim should be investigated. Muslim orgs should be perodically inspected and controlled everywhere, and Muslim immigrants should be rejected. That's not discrimination. It would be discrimination if we rejected them arguing that they are all terrorists. Not if we just say that there is a very high chance that they are.

So oppression by the white man is now responsible for IQ's? If that were true, Jews would have some of the lowest IQ's in the world, but just the opposite is true. So much for that argument, unless you were just being fascitious.
I believe culture is a mix of genetic and environmental factors. Many of these cultures were isolated and formed over thousands of years, so genetics certainly plays a role. Intelligence, temperament, creativity, physical attributes, all have a genetic component. Many developed simply out of the necessity for the culture to survive. I consider the Jews a race, and many of the cultural stereotypes (both good and bad) are also partly genetic.
