Of course, genetics researchers and others are happy to claim this about people from other races/ethnicities... but when it comes to intelligence, proposals like those found in Charles Murray's Bell Curve get you stoned by the academic elite.
'The attacks ... often read like an unintentional confirmation of our view of the "cognitive elite" as a new caste, complete with high priests, dogmas, heresies, and apostates. They have revealed the extent to which the social science that deals in public policy has in the latter part of the 20th century become self-censored and riddled with taboos - in a word, corrupt.' (Charles Murray)
If you are a geneticist and you think genes in populations have anything to do with intelligence, I dare you to speak up.
