Full disclosure, I probably have autism and find hierarchy difficult to understand. I think that's why I focus on the individual vs. the collective.
DaVinci was a great painter who happened to be white. Jackson Pollack painted like he was in kindergarten. He was also white.
I do think there is something to culture that seems like software uploaded to a computer. Some software is more productive than other software.
Genes matter, for sure, but it's not everything. Even if we accept some of Charles Murray's conclusions (which I am not saying I do) geniuses from other races will still exist.

Everyone acknowledges genius exists in many human races. But it's feel-good (or intentionally deceptive) nonsense to assert that it is equally distributed among them, in either quantity or quality.
Yet that nonsense seems to have become a moral tenet in the West (at the insistence of the Jewish minority and a large number of Christians and egalitarians) -- to the point now that people of European ancestry are attacked as "evil" if they try in any way to ensure the survival of their kind or refuse to grant free entry to anyone and everyone into their hard-won territories. That is a serious error that may well be fatal.
I also acknowledge that culture is a powerful force, but it is downstream from biology.
Thank you for your response. It helps me understand your position better. Like I said before I like talking to you because you are honest and don't try to defend your position with b.s. :)
I do think much of the woke newspeak makes certain tail-risk events(eg. Civil war) more likely, but I'm not well read on sociology and this position is based on a Sam Harris podcast, who is ironically of Jewish decent. His mom created the Golden Girls and it was pretty liberal for it's time. I don't watch much TV anymore so I don't know much about the cultural wars.
Thanks again for your respectful response. I hope my questions do not offend you.
