Are there any recent studies on race and IQ?

White supremacy is really not much different from liberal egalitarianism. Because while liberal egalitarians believe that everyone is the exactly the same, white supremacists believe everyone within a race is exactly the same, and that race is the only source of distinctions. I have even seen some of them claim that the only genetics that determine one's intelligence is one's race, and that no matter what your IQ is, your kids will likely have the same IQ as the average of your race. They call this "regression towards the mean". This is exactly the same fantasy that liberal egalitarians want to believe, except they believe it for all of humanity instead of within a race.

The white supremacist race/IQ scholars claim that superior IQs of whites and east Asians are a result of thousands of years of selection as a result of living in environments that experience cold winters. Even if this is true they seem to be neglecting the fact that one can spend all day finely crafting a sand castle, but it only takes seconds for someone to step on it and completely destroy it forever. In the same way, one would expect that after thousands of years of building up good genes, if conditions are made that result in retarded genes spreading like wildfire and replacing the intelligent genes, then whatever was built up could be destroyed forever in a short amount of time.

When IQ and wealth of nations was published in 2002, it showed white countries as having an IQ around 100 and Hispanic countries having an IQ around 90. After witnessing white women stepping on their genes by going for the most stupid, brutish, and impulsive morons, whereas poor Hispanic countries still experience the survival pressures that would make the women like successful and intelligent men, I wonder if the gap has closed at all for the most recent generation.

You seem to have had some sort of mental breakdown.

Probably triggered by finding out my cousin has a girlfriend at 14. I thought he was going to turn out incel and we would fight modern culture together. But instead he is accepted by modern culture, while I am left behind. I think this is what is triggering my emotional rollercoaster.

No.

But there are studies correlating low socioeconomic status with low IQ. And there are studies correlating race with socioeconomic status. So connect the two and you have a correlation between race and low IQ. But to make assertions about the IQ of a race is backwards. Because if your goal is to solve IQ, then you would solve socioeconomic status not race, as race is just some other third variable that we don't care about. Causality could never be proven between race and IQ because socioeconomic status (and education opportunities and cultural biases in IQ tests and historical disadvantages for different races... woops that list is exhaustive) is a confounding factor. Such a study would be unscientific.
