If you actually read the narrow section of The Bell Curve that addresses race and intelligence, you find that in fact the differential in IQ holds across cultures, whether American or African or other.

We believe with no resistance that certain mental illnesses, for example are hereditary; yet the evidence for that is far weaker than the evidence for heritability of intelligence. The default position of "it's all cultural" is not based on scientific data but on politics.

Or in deference.

And it’s also fair to say there’s no direct correlation between IQ and morality, nor integrity.
