To put that in perspective; if we take the average IQ to be 100, that would mean only 10-15% of black Americans have an IQ exceeding 100.

If we look at the PISA reading scores, we see similar results:



USA Asians; 541
USA White; 526
USA Total; 500
USA Hispanic; 466
USA Black; 441

From an international standpoint, you'll find that (north) East Asians dominate; Finland is a notable exception, although that may have something to do with having less than 5% of its populace being born abroad.
I think those numbers might reflect standard of education more than they do capacity for intelligence.
