May have a little lower IQ, but they're very hard working people that have built much of our country. And they've been consistently shat on and suppressed by the English. I think the Irish and Scottish people are very similar. The main difference being Scotland gave in to the English and Ireland continued to fight throughout history and on into modern times. It certainly took its toll though.

"We have lower IQ because of social/historical factors! Race is a social construct!"

We must be careful not to over simplify. Very few things in this world are as simple as all or none. We can't deny that social, historical, and economic factors have a significant effect. He'll, on that graphic comparing SAT scores for whites and blacks for various income levels, there is an upward trend with income for both groups. So you can't deny the effect.
One fallacy is when the left claims the effect is the sole explanation for the difference between blacks and whites. Another fallacy is when one realizes that it's NOT solely due to social, historical, or economic factors and therefore claims these factors have no effect.
