That's certainly not what I'm saying. In fact, I'm willing to bet that there are significant differences within racial sub-types as it relates to IQ averages. For instance, I'm guessing that the average Ethiopian IQ is higher than the average Congolose, the average Norwegian IQ is higher than the average Greek IQ, and the average Japanese IQ is higher than the average Indonesian IQ.
I would appreciate some clarity. Do you think that a study would show that in mixed folks (which is practically everyone in America in some small way), the more European and Asian DNA that person has the higher their IQ?

The IQ gap between races has been proven repeatedly and the gap is very consistent.
The wikipedia article is very detailed and surprisingly fair.
The trickiest part is defining "race"
However the gap manifests itself consistently across standardized test, I think it's 1.1 standard deviations.
The IQ gap is 1.1 STDs and the gap on all standardized tests always comes in at the same.

It's definitely possible. However, the only biology and genetics I know well are from plants, and I know next to nothing about the human genome other than what I'm able to skim from journals and scientists' personal blogs.
The 'American' genome is going to be harder to make any firm inferences about ethnic differences than any long-standing country, for obvious reasons. I am almost totally Scots-Irish/English, for instance, yet I'd be in the same group as Italo-Greeks, which were seperated genetically many thousands of years ago. That goes for just about anybody here.
