IQ doesn't mean better either. I know at least one guy who had a fairly high IQ ~180 I think it was and he was a complete wanker. He had no drive for anything, just acted like an idiot but aced all his tests etc.
Of course it comes in to the equation, if we determine good qualities as ones which help our society. Appearance also counts, interest in certain things counts, physical fitness counts etc.

Using physical fitness as an example, if Australian Aboriginals do have the lowest IQ of any race, it doesn't mean they're the worst race, because they're certainly the most physically fit race.
And furthermore, if I say this, nobody gets up in arms about it.
It's only because of the obsession people have with IQ that causes them to get upset about that.
In reality it's really no more important than many other traits. (Assuming average IQ of a population is not 70 or something).
Yeah I truly get what you're saying. It's just such data will inevitably affect some people's dreams. If you know your race has the shittest IQ, you ain't gonna feel like you have a good chance at high level mathematics, and imagine if your race had the highest IQ... it does make a different to one's motivation to drive on. This can be mental fitness, physical fitness, physical health etc. Knowing there are limitations to one's race destroys the ideal that people love: Anyone can do or become anything.

lol, everyone knowing the truth is like playing an RPG as a particular race with certain advantages and disadvantages.... the only thing is that you didn't get to choose which one you play. You just are what you happen to be.

Don't get me wrong though, I myself, believe the truth should be the truth. It should be known. I just have moments...
