It doesn't actually matter, the exact definition.

I disagree. You can pick a definition, study trends associated, then change the definition and the same trends will change. I promise.

The reason you do this is because you see that IQ differences caused by genetics help to "uphold" a "narrative" that "oppresses" groups who have low IQ.

Not really. I agree that genetics affects IQ. Are you aware of any study that shows race is a good proxy for IQ though? The genetic differences that lead to the expression of traits associated with different races are poorly correlated with IQ, if at all, from what I understand.
