Sure, a lot of people talk about "the brain", but have you ever actually seen one?

Define intelligence and then I'll answer.

First of all, there aren't multiple races of humanity. Humanity itself is a race. And while all of the sub-races that it is split up into do have varying attributes as they've adapted to various environments, the truth is that these sub-races haven't existed on their own for long enough to be drastically different from each other. The only real differences you'll find are in skin pigmentation and bone structure, as well as different genetic traits and slight changes in average organ sizes (such as the lungs), but never intelligence.

Think about it. If every group of humanity is surviving on their own, and survival of the fittest is in effect, why would one group become less intelligent than the others? Losing intelligence is a sure-fire way to get killed off before your genes can have a chance to spread. Makes no evolutionary sense, and every valid study into the subject has determined that no race is inherently "smarter" than the others. Now stop all of this racist drivel and let it be.

Check out "The Race Myth: Why We Pretend Race Exists in America" by Joseph Graves. It might answer some questions for you.

I don't listen to Burzum so I couldn't tell you if Varg Vikernes philosophy tranfers over to his music, but he himself is definitely an old school racist.

As for other big bands its hard to say, heavy metal in general is now pretty much a global phenomenon so if there are any, most of them would be smart enough to conceal their views, or hence ruin their careers.

That stuff's stupid though, I'll wear a shirt from a band that I like if I damn well please. That's what their for, to show what bands I like, anyone wearing a band shirt for any other reason is a poser.

I have, it rendered my Youtube "recommended for you" field full of brain surgery videos.

Yes, I have. I went to that Chinese "The Body" exhibition that displayed more than one real human brain in various states of dissection.

I'm talking about all of that and everything else the brain does as well. That's why I'm using the plural "intelligences".

It's not unthinkable, just unlikely.
And you ignored the part about environmental factors.
Plus we don't even really know how to define intelligence or how to really measure it.
We could also argue about whether only some races have a soul. We wouldn't really have much to go on and the motives of someone arguing in favour of this hypothesis would be highly dubious.
