For such a controversial topic, you're being very cavalier. If you just butt-in with overconfident assertions and fail to cite any sources, you can expect to get downvoted for racism.
More importantly: Even if you're right, it can also be true that blacks and hispanics suffer from discrimination. Better to err on the side of helping the disadvantaged than to use an excuse like, "Eh, most of them aren't as smart as us."
Lastly, I prefer Gwern's response to the race & IQ debate.[1] The whole topic is radioactive. The best course of action is to stay silent. Eventually, gene sequencing will get cheaper and the data will be overwhelming (in support of one hypothesis or the other).
