There are a lot of billionaires born in places where is hard to succeed for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi_Mittal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi_Mittal and genetics can give you some abilities or others but is up to you to train them to succeed and also intelligence has nothing to do with race or genetics.

Exceptions don't make the rule. Nobody said it couldn't happen. The problem is that we want it to be always possible. It isn't.

> Lakshmi Niwas Mittal was born into a Indian business family [son of steel magnate] in ... Rajasthan, India. ... He graduated from St. Xavier's [rich private school] College, Calcutta with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in business and accounting. His father, Mohan Lal Mittal, ran a steel business, Nippon Denro. [the magnate] So a rich steel magnate's son in a developing country about to explode under the greatest GDP growth seen in world history, along with the greatest demand for steel seen in world history becomes a billionaire. How ... predictable.

> intelligence has nothing to do with race or genetics. Nothing to do with race, sure. Plenty to do with genetics, though. Intelligent parents tend to have intelligent kids.
