He expected what commonly tweeted “IQ by race / country” memes say on X, which is to say they regurgitate old debunked scientific racism that is now popular once again due to confirmation bias.
Significant IQ differences DO exist across countries, with key factors being education, health & nutrition, socioeconomic status, environmental factors (more controversial), the Flynn effect.
Importantly: we have no way of knowing that, because there is no such thing as a country-by-country survey of mean or median IQ.
