UG is more pure than your inferior race

Research shows that there are huge discrepancies in IQ based on race, but it also shows that to be just correlation, not causation. In the US, whites and Asians have the highest IQs while blacks and Hispanics have the lowest, but it's not due to any inherent capacity. It's due to poverty. Malnutrition and lack of education, to be more precise. Once those factors are equaled out, there is shown to be zero intellectual difference between ethnicities.

Somewhat. Mostly IQ tests are just culturally biased. They test what educated white middle/upper class people deem important.

Sorta

It's not so much that they're culturally biased because the skills are truly fundamental intellectual skills that show a strong correlation with intellectual capacity, but that they are affected to a degree by education. Things like recognizing shapes and patterns are not culturally biased

This is one reason why it's about a range, not a specific number. You scoring 120 and me scoring 115 doesn't mean that you're smarter than I am because we are within the same range that allows us to compensate for margin of error.

Having said that, IQ tests haven't been changed for like 100 years because intelligence is simply that difficult to figure out, and they're only considered one aspect of what intelligence really is. They are, however, still extremely valuable measures of somebody's capacity to perform complex tasks.
