This has been done in twin studies and you are wrong. Black children raised by White parents perform worse than their White siblings and more in line with other blacks. Black children raised in wealthier homes perform worse than White children in poorer homes because the environment in which they were raised was unable to trump their genetic intelligence ceiling. The racial gaps are very glaring in every measure and under all circumstances. Outcomes are driven by genes.
You haven't addressed why cultures develop in certain ways. You have not explained why African and Japanese cultures are the way they are in the first place. Why is it that not a single nation in African developed like Japan or vice versa?
I would also like to state that I'm not even ascribing value to cultures. I do not judge blacks for being the way they are. They can be low intelligence and live however they want. All I claim is that our ways of living are incompatible and that we should live in our own sovereign nations and mind out own business. I do not believe that black culture can or should be "fixed" with a better environment. I simply believe that it is naive at best and certainly not demonstrated that you can determine behaviour with "culture." Behaviour determines culture because behaviour comes from the individual, i.e. genes, and culture is just a pattern of many individuals.

I would be interested in seeing these studies.
I don't know why cultures initially developed the way they did. But cultures continue to change as time goes on. People who were once savage can become civilized and respectable.
You say different peoples should live in their own specific nations and mind their own business. What about immigration? Or are we to forever live alone and never intermingle with other people and cultures? Even if such a thing were possible it's a great way to become stagnant. Cultures and people are supposed to change as times change. What the future holds for all cultures I don't know. Though at the current rate the entire world is going to become fat and sick before long and this future I fear.
I suppose the real question is how do your beliefs affect your dealings with (thin) people you meet? Do you hold preconceived notions about blacks and behave differently? Or do you give everyone a chance to make an ass of themselves first? I have my own prejudices, though not based on skin color, but I talk to everyone no differently and let their actions speak for themselves. I've had some great friends who were black and a positive influence, and I've seen some despicable white people.
