Its not genetic exclusivity to a group, its dominantly culture. You also forget that there are jews of many ethnic backgrounds (twelve tribes in the text) even though they came from an ultimate source. Every group has the capacity to bring forth geniuses. Geniuses are a minority even within their own group, which makes them high in demand. Take India for instance. We see a lot of esteemed lawyers and doctors in this country no different than other Asians and whites, which makes the expectation of employment and higher test scores higher for Asians than whites but go to India and the amount of common people is very high. The success rate based on our standard testing in major highschools and colleges would level out no different than it is for whites.
They just recently found a black child in England who has a higher IQ than Einstein and Einstein was a jew (Then agan...there are black jews...so technically is being jewish a "race"?)
Eleven year old British child of African descent who scored higher than Einstein:

Fourteen year old white child who scored higher then Einstein:

The best takeaway that one can gather about these two individuals is that despite having very high intelligence levels what truly matters is how they apply it. If you don't apply it, what a waste no matter what background. In some peoples case because of hardships, they don't even get a chance to use it.
Geniuses are minoriities living amongst us all and they come in many shades.
You're right that not everyone is born equal though.

I agree that every society can produce geniuses (although the rate and level of production is the real issue), and also that intelligence needs to be applied. Perhaps the most important ingredient to genius is actually creativity, something that does not appear to be directly heritable. I also agree that eq is generally more important for success in society and that most jobs, even well paying ones, don't actually require a high degree of intelligence at all. Still, society is carried forward by geniuses, so their importance can't be underestimated.

How do you believe creativity is linked to genius/intelligence? Then there must be some real geniuses operating in the gaming industries ;-p creating costumes, scenarios, towns and detailed landscape, characters, art style, battle systems, basically creating a new dimension from scratch ;-p
but exactly what creativity is though is another question.
