You take the average of each group, WORLDWIDE, assume it's identical for the U.S.

Within each race, the average IQ is roughly the same, worldwide. Nonetheless, the averages I've used were the American averages. The Black American average (85) and the Hispanic American average (89) is higher than the average of those groups in other places (70 for Africans and 85 for Hispanics in Latin America).

And even there, you already have conflicting calculations from Easy.

That was a math error on my part.

I think I'm going to go with the actual test scores.

The score you cite is from Richard Lynn's 2002 book. In his 2008 book The Global Bell Curve, Richard Lynn cites scores for the U.S. populations from one of his papers that was published in 2006. The scores are essentially identical to the ones I cited.

So, to calculate. The population percentages are based on the 2010 Census. "White" refers to the non-Hispanic European American population, and as per Lynn I've subtracted 2% from the white percentage for the Jewish population.

Raceμ IQ% Population
Whites10061.7
Hispanics8916.3
Blacks8512.6
E. Asians1052
S/SE Asians922
Jews1132
Native Americans860.6
Total=97.2

The remainder consists of those listing two or more races, who I'll ignore. So we have:

100*.617+89*.163+85*.126+105*.02+92*.02+113*.02+86*.006=93.6
93.6/.972=96.3

So, once again, the tiny difference of two points between Belgians and Americans does NOT explain the large difference in high school education standards. Blaming it on Blacks is simply scapegoating.

But country's average in toto is slightly tangential to the difference in standard, because the minority groups are several grade levels behind whites. Any curriculum that has to take into account the 30% of the population that will be 3 years behind the majority is going to be different from a country that doesn't have these large percentages of people of color.
