Dozens of studies have come up with more or less these same stats. Regardless of the way that people are tested and under what circumstances they are tested, these numbers (approximately) are what you get. The scary thing is that some genetic groups have been found that have average IQs of about 65. When you think honestly and rationally about these numbers, they completely undermine the myth of racism. I know the point has been made elsewhere, but it's worth repeating. No one should be made to feel guilty about having a higher than average IQ and if you have a higher than average IQ you should trust your ability to think through the issues and to recognize that racism is not the issue. It's genetically determined intelligence that makes all the difference. Racism is a rather superficial phenomenon which has very little effect on socioeconomic status. Stupid people tend to cause most of their own problems....
