hmm... I could understand how you could defend something like Africans are, on average, less educated than Japanese or something like Africans have less opportunity from their environment to educate themselves and thus have less knowledge and intelligence (but then which type of intelligence?) than Japanese...
But defending your original quote, you would have to prove me that african kids raised in the same conditions as japanese kids are less intelligent than the japanese kids... And I don't believe there is any studies proving this...
In our world there is no equality of circumstances and we are pretty much a product of our environment so how could the produce of wildly varying environment be equal? So I don't think you can single out a 'race' as being more or less intelligent, you have to consider the political environment, the culture, the natural environment... and so on

I recommend starting with this, http://www.amazon.com/Blank-Slate-Modern-Denial-Nature/dp/0670031518 http://www.amazon.com/Blank-Slate-Modern-Denial-Nature/dp/06... Pinker is a liberal but he's also a scientist, and so it's a good intro into reality.
