The scientific consensus is that race is a social construct and does not have a genetic basis [1], and intelligence is not linked to "race" [2], and attempts to link those are rooted in racism [3].
Since this science information is easily googled, or spat out by modern AI when queried, what is one to make of a lack of willingness to do basic due diligence before espousing the statements above?
Science is moving towards recognizing non-human-intelligence, and substantial NHI too - among all different levels of the animal kingdom, with cetaceans and corvids ranking rather high; and here we have folks claiming "the truth gets lost" and "we simply don't know" about human intelligence.
