False.

It's not difficult to prove that different races have different access 
to education, which quite obviously has a radical effect on the ability 
to pass tests that measure how educated you are. Nothing inherant about 
the ability of a race, just environmental factors.

The correct thing, of course, would be to correct the environmental 
differences rather than all this "you have to hire X% black people" crap.

 From what I've heard, the less superficial differences are fairly 
minor. For example, females have higher intelligence *on average*, and 
yet it's not difficult to find a particular male who is more intelligent 
than a particular female (i.e., there's a large overlap in the ranges).
