We have to be extremely skeptical of anything coming out of academia - and by that I mean academia is going to have an extreme egalitarian bias in these things. This is a meta-analysis so is using older data, but I'd be pretty concerned given the current situation that things like IQ testing by race could simply be banned outright by these journals, since any evidence that contradicts the egalitarian dogma counts as "hate".

In order to be sure that the data are being collected correctly, we're going to have to do it ourselves, with our own institutions.

But the study itself contradicts the egalitarian dogma. 74 avg IQ is even lower than Black Americans. Are you saying you think that's an overestimation?

Yes. I didn't make myself clear - I think it's important to remember even in cases where the evidence contradicts egalitarian dogma, that it still may be tainted by it. If a study confirms your preconceptions it's easy to forget that academia still has an incredible egalitarian bias.
