1. The founding stock (as of independance) was arguably better than the average Euro, they still represent the bulk of American ancestry. I highly doubt this. In Philadelphia, I am certain the majority of people of European descent are of Italian, Irish, Jewish, German, and Eastern European descent, groups which arrived well after Independence. I am certain that you would see similar ethnic breakdowns all across the East Coast.

2. Most immigrants in the 19th century where European So? Still impoverished huddled masses. Are you implying Europeans, even impoverished peasants, are genetically superior to all other ethnic groups?

6. Regression towards the mean, even if the immigrants where dumb their kids would regress towards their populations average I hope points 1 to 5 clearly suggest the average of these averages for these groups was probably around 100. By what mechanism if you claim IQ is so genetically determined?
