This is a fair critique however in misses my point in OP.
Regardless of if we can accurately measure intelligence, it is obviously a genetic trait as all other traits are.
We can get into the weeds of why this is the case but in a nuttshel.
If we believe the brain functions as all other biomater on a living organism does (ie through genetic coding determined by darwinistic selection) then intelligence must inherently be genetic.
And it is also shall we
Drastically unlikely?
that members of species evolutionarily isolated for thousands of years to the point where the skin pigment, bone structure and musslce mass dirverged evolved the EXACT SAME level of genetic intelligence.
It seems like a rather unlikely hypothesis to me.

Whether or not we should base social policy upon the outcomes of scientific research is somewhat beside the point but if you're worried about re-segregation i wouldn't.
Even if the strongest proponents of genetic intelligence were undeniably proven right it would still mean that roughly 40 percent of each countries white population would be barred from voting and with the way the west sucks the pervial dick of democracy i dont se that as a likely out come.
At best you'd probably get racially based immigration laws and in this day and age, with demographics the way they are, that would be a strech by any standard.
This argument however was not supposed to be policy based but science based.
The question of "what do we do" with this knowledge is up to political debate.
But the question of "is it true or not" is a scientfiic one.
