But it's not merely an ethnic difference, it cultural difference of the worst kind.
Culture, race, and ethnicity (and Religion) are all very well tied together. Usually, pick an "ethnic" group, and they share all these things.
I don't know what white Muslims would be. I know plenty of Muslims would be described as white, as a big tent option. Don't ever dare call anyone mixed race.
But if we're talking traditional white Christian Americans who converted, I don't think there are enough to be a bloc.
Black Muslims might be an ethnicity, since they're more into it and build families around it. But I would not be shocked if any of these felt like the Umma is their ethnicity. Religion is a powerful force. Whatever people seize on as their identify (for a long time -- ignoring the johnny come lately identity stuff), is so.
You can't just ignore the power of a religion over an ethnic bias, when you have something like Islam or Leftism which are totalitarian.
Put it like this, I don't care what Arabs are genetically predisposed towards in a vacuum. Islam promotes violence and close cousin marriage. The two fastest ways to decrease a population's IQ is to expose children to violence and marry cousins.
Is that an innate trait of Arabs stretching through all time? Or is it a totalitarian religion that literally breeds pathological behavior into populations. What was genetic, is now cultivated by environment into a new force that is influencing female sex selection.
Again, this is why East German IQ's are important. They aren't different cultures prior to Leftism. Not different languages or religions. Only politics. But that politics cultivates violence, corruptions, starvation, incest, and every other kind of pathology and degeneracy that could ruin a population and promote pathological behavior. The Leftism was only present for 3 generations, and it yet it still had a violent and immediate effect on the population's statistics.
If you work backwards from a Leftist environment and declare that the outcomes are normal for that population, then you've misunderstood what you are looking at. You are failing to recognize a population afflicted by a mental disease that attacks them at every possible level: intellectual, emotional, physical, linguistic, cultural, even genetic.
