"Overall, 18% of Asians have an IQ over 120, 10% of whites do and only 1% of blacks. Nearly 84% of blacks have an IQ below 100, which is slightly below the average IQ for whites. "

I wonder if some of the African-americans who do score high on IQ are doing so because they have some White DNA in them. I think I heard on average African-americans are 15% white.

22 percent white. Yes white admixture does have an effect.

I would love more clarity on this front. I think you are not too likely to find anyone who is 100% white or black, so there might be more to these numbers. What would be interesting is take people who are 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of a particular type and re-do some these studies.
