You are referring to your belief about average intelligence. There is great diversity among all ethnic groups in intelligence. The danger in using averages is that people might erroneously conclude that the differences are completely innate, which they are not. Family dynamics also affect the intellectual development of children. Furthermore, the very concept of "intelligence" is more nebulous than most people realize. Intelligence is much more than a score on a test. Members of every ethnic/religious/racial group have achieved great things. Conversely, great achievements are not an inevitable product of intelligent minds. Great intelligence can be found in the way some parents teach their children but it may go unrecognized by society.
