Now own up and define the races. How are we to start comparing different groups if we don't know who they are? Don't be so coy. Based on shared traits and geographical ancestry we are able to categorize the vast majority of humans. Self-identified race correlates strongly with genetic structure:

Because I totally said that. Yes, you did actually. I asked you to show me a test in which all racial groups score equally, and you replied that only a test which "removes all cultural bias and when reporting results corrects for all the non-race factors of the tested subjects" would do this. So you are essentially saying that any test of intelligence which shows a racial disparity must have problems with cultural bias etc. You're starting with the assumption that all races have the same average intelligence and going from there.
