I am not convinced that it measures much else besides IQ test performance. It would be an extreme inductive leap to assume that IQ testing measures an innate property of any group, independent of environmental factors such as language, culture, exposure to media, and so forth. Did you know that some anthropologists use IQ testing as a way of measuring exposure to white Anglophone culture? Based on this, I’d say it’s less political correctness than awareness of the limited value of simplistic measurements. And since racism has been part of our history since the age of colonialism began, it’s hardly surprising that the right-end tail of the bell curve for whites gets better visibility than that of other less privileged nationalities. Anyway, why is it so important to you to nurture the belief that your group is intellectually superior?
