That's strictly speaking not true...
While IQ may not be very good test for overall intelligence as it's a test in mathematical pattern recognition, it is a pretty good test for mathematical aptitude. When you look at IQ tests in places like the U.S where you have multiple races growing up in the same kind of environment and divide the data by race, you generally find that the average black score is the lowest, the average asian score is the highest and the average white score is in the middle.
An IQ test isn't "a test in mathematical pattern recognition."
There are elements of pattern recognition, and there are elements of math, but there aren't really many "mathematical pattern recognition" elements. Math is also only one portion of an IQ test. The verbal part (which actually comprises math, as well as vocabulary, digit span [basically a short term mem test], writing fluidity, writing quality, general knowledge, and more.) The Performance part is more about the right side of the brain; spatial ability, pattern recognition, visual memory etc. Unfortunately I was foolish enough to major in neuropsychology.
Also, studies have proven that when you control for all the variables (wealth, expectiations, social class, parent eduction, etc.), there is actually little to no performance difference between any of the races. Yes, this means Asians do no better than Whites OR Blacks. There is of course still plenty of individual variation.
Another point you seem to refuse to recognize is that racial differences are more than skin deep. There's not just what I just mentioned, there's also a lot of biochemical differences in how the body works. Part of the reason why trials for new drugs are so extensive is that new compounds in those drugs can react very differently in the bodies of patients with different racial backgrounds.
This is a bit of a silly oversimplification. While, yes, certain ethnicities are famous for certain traits (sickle cell West-African decent/Tay-Sachs ashkenazi Jewish decent/pattern baldness Europeans esp. Greeks/Macedonians), it's more than a bit silly to assume or pretend that these traits don't litter the entire human gene pool. Generally speaking, drug reactions are VERY complex, and race often has little to no bearing on outcome, it's much more individually based; ratios of different hormones and enzymes, which can vary from person to person (esp. family to family) are often more to blame than are specific genes one might find more frequently in one race rather than another.
If you want a really clear and observable quirk in a specific race, there's something called "Asian Flush" (or "Alcohol Flush Reaction") which is caused by a genetic mutation which about half the east-asian population is carrying. The mutation in question leads to the liver not being able to process alcohol properly and producing something called acetaldehyde. The effect of this is that those affected by this is that their faces turn red, they become really giggly and eventually they start feeling really ill.
Had to read up on this for a minute, turns out it's actually the opposite, they metabolize it very efficiently. Only way I can see this relating to drugs is if some topical were suspended in an alcohol solution and was then absorbed by the skin into the bloodstream =P
Wikipedia:
(It is commonly thought that the flush reaction is caused by an inability to metabolize alcohol.[citation needed] To the contrary, around 80% of Asian people (less common in Thailand and India) have a variant of the gene coding for the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase called ADH1B, whereas almost all Japanese, Chinese and Korean people have a variant of the gene called ADH1C,[7] both resulting in an alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme that converts alcohol to toxic acetaldehyde at a much higher efficiency than other gene variants (40- to 100-fold in case of ADH1B).[2])
If you watch a lot of anime
Lord no...
If there's anything you should take away from that part of the post is that it seems to be ok to complain about whites being overrepresented, but apparently complaining about asians and jewish being overrepresented isn't acceptable and they don't seem to fall into "minorities" in the "whites vs minorities" figures.
Well, to be fair, in the social sciences the definition of "minority" is a group or class which is underrepresented and lacking influence and power. Women are a minority, despite making up more than half the population on Earth.
