African programmers

Since you're one of the lesser racist boards on 4chan I have a question. Is it possible for an African to become a successful programmer? And by that I mean, could he become anything more than a code monkey? Would he be able to get hired in the sea of Asians?

The problem with intelligence testing is that it's essentially impossible to remove social interactions and say that there is a basic biological difference between groups.

It's more plausible to say that black U.S. Americans and African natives under-perform in areas of intelligence because of economic disparity brought on by the artifacts of colonialism and modern-day capitalism engines (i.e. propping up dictators who prove rare-metal exports.)

Areas looking into the human genetic variation find that the whole of humanity has an incredible unvarying set of characteristics- as a whole we have less variation as a species than a few dozen in-group chimp.

And, there are greater individual differences within racial groups than between racial groups (however you decide to draw the lines.)
