What plan of action are you recommending here? And how does it differ from your plan for any person of equivalent IQ from other groups?

If IQ is that important, why use an unreliable, socially constructed grouping instead of measuring it directly?

I don't have a plan of action. If my argument is sound and we accept it then the implications for what that would mean for public policy and society are not exactly nice or easy to think about.

I do know that we predicate school funding and a lot of other education/social policies on "bridging the achievement gap" and maybe this should be re-examined.
