this area are on average more inteligent than people from say the UK, and on
average, black people or people from African desendence are less inteligent
but have far more athletic ability.
### Actually, as far I know only the Ashkenazi are smart (about 113 average
in the US), while the Sephardim are just average. One of the hypotheses
explaining this fact is the custom for the smartest kid in the yeshiva to
marry the rabbi's daughter, with an increased number of surviving offspring
of such matings (you will find more data in the "Human Genetics" handbook by
Vogel and Motulsky).

Now does this make me a racist ????
### No, a realist.
A racist is a scumbag who thinks it's fine to treat humans badly because of
their race (any post-hoc justifications-by-superiority notwitstanding).
