It's true that these kinds of analyses are often politically motivated, but if they're sound, they're sound, regardless of the motivation. My problem with them

It's true that these kinds of analyses are often politically motivated, but if they're sound, they're sound, regardless of the motivation. My problem with them is that they focus on the wrong thing. They ignore the fact that while human traits, including intelligence, have Gaussian distributions, wealth and income have distributions closer to a power law. This suggests that there are strong, systematic amplifications of wealth that have little relation to real merit, regardless of the biological source. Compared to the differences in wealth, the measurable biological differences are in the noise. And that's what we should be analyzing.
