Let's hash this out. Why then do American blacks score 15 points lower than American whites on average?

The group average IQ, as well as the cultural value of family and education, of whites is relatively low compared to Asians & Jews. The avg IQ of whites is relatively high compared to hispanics and blacks, who value family and education less than whites.

The genetic adaptation to live around the equator required less forward thinking than those who deal with seasons. Even so, there are black and hispanic people smarter than us, and there are Asian, Jewish, and white, people dumber than us.

A brilliant person of any ethnicity will value intelligence more than a dumb person. The brilliant individual will find another person who is at least above average intelligence to have children with. Their children will be of above average intelligence. Ethnicity isn't relevant to these individuals, and the intelligence of their children.

A group average is only an indicator of that group's average, and the group's collective values. You can derive nothing from it regarding an individual of that group who may have 65 or 165 IQ.

The is true. A particular black person may have an IQ of 130, and a particular white person may have an IQ of 65. You can’t judge a particular person by the average of the group. BUT YOU CAN JUDGE THE GROUP AS A WHOLE, THATS WHAT THE GROUP AVERAGE IS FOR.

Uh... you just admitted that different groups have different averages thus proving that ethnicity is relevant. So we are done here...
