I'm always amazed at how touchy discussions on that topic are, even more so than the Male/Female ones. I personally wouldn't bring up any studies/factual-statistics regarding it in polite conversation with a member of the relevant race being present.
There is a whole wikipedia article devoted to it with a range of information on the topic:

- joe_the_user 9y ago"I personally wouldn't bring up any studies/factual-statistics regarding it in polite conversation with a member of the relevant race being present. [links to studies]" Which is to say you either A: don't consider hn polite conversation or B: don't imagine the "relevant race" is present.
- mastazi 9y agoHN is definitely not what I would call polite conversation. Casually talking about the weather, asking how the wife and boys are is. It is my understanding that this community makes a point about sharing "anything that a good hacker would find interesting".
- flukus 9y agoMore likely C: They won't get fired for a post on HN.
