FR isn’t a place for racists. You cite a source that has been discredited in multiple ways. All humans occupy the same curve, it is their choices that differentiate.

OK, then how about the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education article "The Widening Racial Scoring Gap on the SAT College Admissions Test":

Not only are African-American scores on the SAT far below the scores of whites and Asian Americans, but they also trail the scores of every other major ethnic group in the United States including students of Puerto Rican and Mexican backgrounds. In fact, American Indian and Alaska Native students on average score more than 104 points higher than the average score of black students. On average, Asian American students score 227 points, or 19 percent higher, higher than African Americans.

...

But there is a major flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:

• Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks.

• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.

• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points below the average score of white students from families whose income was less than $10,000.

The position that "there are no differences" is used to justify the position that "any statistical disparity in hiring and promotion in high-end jobs is due to racism", which is a Leftist mantra.

The differences are still cultural. In the same way Asians outdo their White counterparts (by and large) it is because they study more and pay attention to education.

Even in wealthy households, the Black experience in the USA is doing well in school is “acting White.”

BTW I am not arguing with your stats, nor do I find them surprising.
