Environmental is PART of it. But what makes the genetic argument so taboo?

enviroment is everything.
Haven't you ever heard people say they want to move because they had "better schools?" Shit even housing is more expensive you when live close to a school.
Why is that middle class black students are lower academically?
not sure because "Middle Class" is too broad.
All i know is that it's bullshit to say that a certain race is more intelligent.
For instance the Asians, its very possible that they test high because of the 2nd generation americans and their parents instilled their values. I betcha if there was a study only on 3rd and above generation of Asian-americans they'll find that their scores are just average.
Enviroment and social settings is everything. Rewind to 35 years ago and look at the Jim Crow South(Seperate But Equal). You can't tell me those kids education was fucked
