The real fucking hard part for people to accept is that IQ IS HIGHLY HERITABLE IN HUMANS. Between 60-80%. We can measure this. Twins studies back it up. It's science. You get more than half your braininess from your parents.
Ok, so consider Hitler's attempt to make a super-race. He killed off all the jews he could get his hands on. Those with foresight, power, money, or means managed to escape germany. Physicists were particularly gobbled up. Now, this might sound crazy, but if you kill off all the idiots, and save all the smarties, and IQ is highly heritable.... how do you think that affected average jewish IQ scores post WWII? Same thing with Mao and the intellectuals who fled to the USA to become tiger-moms. They're all ex-village nobility, engineers, doctors, and the intellectuals Mao had rounded up and "re-educated". If they had stayed. Now they score higher.
Slaves, on the other hand, are not selected for their ability to perform knowledge work. This is a cluster-fuck that keeps on giving.

But dig into that one. Look up the references at the bottom. I tried to simply call bullshit on it once and... I couldn't.
