I don't have my mind made up about any of this! I just haven't seen any convincing evidence yet that genetics is the main driver of academic achievement disparities among any racial group. Of course I acknowledge the influence of genetics when it comes to individual differences.
Yes, but what evidence would change your mind, specifically?

I should have been more agnostic about my conclusion. I am genuinely open to high quality data on the matter. One thing I'd like to see is more analyses that control fully for population stratification; that takes into account all of the relevant historical influences. Not easy!

Yep. It's complicated & hard. But what would _you_ consider high enough quality data to change your mind on this issue?
