What people say about race IQ measurements isn't really relevant to an individual, but more interesting when talking about large groups of people, and how to best fix societal problems. We should teach people not to be offended by discussion of this data, since it has nothing to do with them as a person who might individually fall anywhere on scale.
Individuals with low IQ living within high-IQ societies will tend to be lifted up by culture. (i.e. focus on reading, self-improvement, responsibility, morality). Individuals with high IQ living in low-IQ societies will tend to be brought down (crabs in a bucket) unless there's a class/caste system to support them. However their high IQ should make it easier for them to adapt to challenges.
And that is precisely why I hate it when I see how society bends over backwards to lower standards and make excuses. You are doing them no favors because once they fail in the real world they will most likely point the finger at anything but themselves
