Genetics and intelligence.

The evidence in favor of evolution is overwhelming, for instance, statistically, malnourished chinese peasants have higher IQs than many ethnic groups in the developed world.

Unfortunately this knowledge has been misinterpreted by various groups.

Racists attach their self-worth to their race, some racists believe they are superior as individuals due to some statistical or historically evident advantage of their race, other racists become the equivalent of creationists denying that there are any genetic differences at all and create elaborate conspiracy theories to explain why their race is statistically disadvantaged.

How should intelligent people approach this issue?

If you were smart like me you would realize that it is not that simple, it is not "shit" or "complete truth", it is not one way or the other. IQ tests don't explain everything, 5 IQ points difference between individuals is nothing, IQ doesn't account for every mental ability, but 20 IQ points difference does mean there is a significant difference in puzzle solving or a difference in IQ between populations with similar results over several studies means there is a difference between them that affects intelligence.
