Suppose one day we find evidence that, let's say Bolivians, are intellectually superior than others. Will we suppress this information or knowingly subvert the evidence for fear of being labeled racist and causing societal unrest? Or will we simply say it simply because such evidence has been found?

I think it would be de-emphasized for two reasons: 1) It is very divisive to label certain races superior to others (RIP Adolph), and 2) more importantly, the "So what?" factor. Unless we can prove that a higher IQ necessarily translates to more valuable contributions to society and the world, there is no point in emphasizing it.
