Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher.

The authors argue that IQ scores are largely immutable and represent innate intelligence. The ranks of the cognitively inferior are disproportionately filled with Blacks, Latinos, and immigrants. IQ is destiny and a matter of genes. Data used to support the authors' thesis are taken from the NLSY.
